Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2003 Christies in London held the auction THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART, which included the work The Holy Family by James Collinson. The price achieved of GBP 20,315.00 (€ 29,659.26) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 18,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Collinson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Writing Lesson, which sold at auction in November 2008 for GBP 79,250.00 (€ 95,819.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Holy Family von James Collinson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 20.315,00 (€ 29.659,26) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 18.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von James Collinson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Writing Lesson beobachtet, die im November 2008 für GBP 79.250,00 (€ 95.819,21) versteigert wurde.
