Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Miravet by Joaquim Mir was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 115,250.00 (€ 139,345.91). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Joaquim Mir - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Spanish ruinas Del Castillo De San Tueri, Felanitx (The Ruins Of The Castle Of San Tueri In Felanitx), which sold at auction in May 2015 for GBP 221,000.00 (€ 307,277.24).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Miravet von Joaquim Mir im November 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 115.250,00 (€ 139.345,91) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Joaquim Mir mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Spanish ruinas Del Castillo De San Tueri, Felanitx (The Ruins Of The Castle Of San Tueri In Felanitx) beobachtet, die im Mai 2015 für GBP 221.000,00 (€ 307.277,24) versteigert wurde.
