Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2006 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art & Dreaming Spires; Watercolours of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges, which included the work Queen's College, Library by John Doyle. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 500.00 – 800.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 504.00 (€ 748.00) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Doyle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Taking an Airing in Hyde Park, which sold at auction in May 2014 for GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,611.69).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art & Dreaming Spires; Watercolours of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges durch, in der auch die Arbeit Queen's College, Library von John Doyle zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 504,00 (€ 748,00) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Doyle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Taking an Airing in Hyde Park beobachtet, die im Mai 2014 für GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.611,69) versteigert wurde.
