Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Ladies' Flower Garden: Six Plates by Jane Wells Loudon was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2004, 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 1,673 (€ 1,361). 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
Als die Arbeit The Ladies' Flower Garden: Six Plates von Jane Wells Loudon im März 2004 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.673,00 (€ 1.361,05) den Besitzer. 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).
