Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Ladies' Flower Garden: Eight Plates by Jane Wells Loudon was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000 – 3,000, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,554 (€ 1,262). Admittedly, works by Jane Wells Loudon 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 Ladies' Flower Garden of Ornamental Annuals. London: William Smith, 1840. 4° (270 x 201mm). 48 hand-coloured lithographic plates with over 300 figures of plants by Day & Haghe after Mrs. Loudon. (Occasional light spotting, a few plates with small nick in November 2000 with an auction result of GBP 3,760 (€ 6
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli 2003 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Ladies' Flower Garden: Eight Plates von Jane Wells Loudon für USD 1.553,50 (€ 1.261,98) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion THE HOUSE SALE bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jane Wells Loudon auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Ladies' Flower Garden of Ornamental Annuals. London: William Smith, 1840. 4° (270 x 201mm). 48 hand-coloured lithographic plates with over 300 figures of plants by Day & Haghe after Mrs. Loudon. (Occasional light spotting, a few plates with small nick im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.760,00 (€ 6.145,57).
