Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Spain, Tangier And Cairo, 1910S-20S by James Craig Annan was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2004, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 717.00 (€ 1,031.40). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Craig Annan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portraits And Landscapes, 1840S in May 2008 with an auction result of GBP 11,875.00 (€ 15,105.52).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Spain, Tangier And Cairo, 1910S-20S von James Craig Annan im November 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 717,00 (€ 1.031,40) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Craig Annan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portraits And Landscapes, 1840S im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.875,00 (€ 15.105,52).
