Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The nearest way home by James John Hill was sold in the British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings auction at Christies in London in March 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,553.50 (€ 2,325.45) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by James John Hill have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Fern Gatherers in October 2004 with an auction result of USD 23,900.00 (€ 18,750.98).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The nearest way home von James John Hill wurde im März 2004 in der Auktion British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.553,50 (€ 2.325,45) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von James John Hill auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Fern Gatherers im Oktober 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.900,00 (€ 18.750,98).
