Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Scraps From Sketchbooks by James Smetham was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2015. The price achieved of GBP 7,250.00 (€ 10,278.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Scraps From Sketchbooks von James Smetham kam im Juli 2015 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 7.250,00 (€ 10.278,06) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
