Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Fishing Craft On The Venetian Lagoon by John Ernest Aitken was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 960.00 (€ 1,422.78). Admittedly, works by John Ernest Aitken have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Fisherfolk, St. Monance, Fifeshire in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 4,465.00 (€ 7,105.22).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Fishing Craft On The Venetian Lagoon von John Ernest Aitken im Juni 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 960,00 (€ 1.422,78) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Ernest Aitken auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Fisherfolk, St. Monance, Fifeshire im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.465,00 (€ 7.105,22).
