Auction result misses estimated price range

In March 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work Ducks before a watermill by James Matthews for GBP 105.75 (€ 170.64). This price was achieved in the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 250.00 – 350.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by James Matthews have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A garden in Egdean, Sussex in September 2007 with an auction result of GBP 1,062.50 (€ 1,523.55).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im März 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Ducks before a watermill von James Matthews für GBP 105,75 (€ 170,64) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 250,00 – 350,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von James Matthews auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A garden in Egdean, Sussex im September 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.062,50 (€ 1.523,55).
