Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Flaxman could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British Art on Paper auction, the work Three Studies of Sleeping Children; Study of A Young Girl; And Study of A Family Group changed hands for GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,525.90) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Admittedly, works by John Flaxman have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Angels Rescuing A Soul From The Ranks of The Dead in June 2006 with an auction result of GBP 14,400.00 (€ 20,836.56).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Flaxman konnte im November 2005 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British Art on Paper wechselte die Arbeit Three Studies of Sleeping Children; Study of A Young Girl; And Study of A Family Group für GBP 2.400,00 (€ 3.525,90) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Flaxman auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Angels Rescuing A Soul From The Ranks of The Dead im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.400,00 (€ 20.836,56).
