Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by James Smetham could be acquired at Christies in London in July 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British & European Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction, the work Flora changed hands for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 9,606.92) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Smetham achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Mandolin in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 476,750.00 (€ 536,512.29).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von James Smetham konnte im Juli 2019 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British & European Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art wechselte die Arbeit Flora für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 9.606,92) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Smetham erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Mandolin im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 476.750,00 (€ 536.512,29).
