Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2001 Christies in London held the auction Maritime, which included the work The Island Queen off Cowes by John Christian Schetky. It changed hands for a price of GBP 2,937.50 (€ 4,924.79) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Christian Schetky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lord Belfast's yacht Emily hove-to for her owner to come aboard, off the Belem Tower, at the mouth of the Tagus, Lisbon in October 2007 with an auction result of GBP 96,500.00 (€ 138,580.35).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Island Queen off Cowes von John Christian Schetky zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 2.937,50 (€ 4.924,79) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Christian Schetky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lord Belfast's yacht Emily hove-to for her owner to come aboard, off the Belem Tower, at the mouth of the Tagus, Lisbon im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 96.500,00 (€ 138.580,35).
