Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2013 Christies in London held the auction Travel, Science & Natural History, which included the work Ramphastos Tucanus; Ramphastos Osculans; Menura Alberti; And Casuarius Uniappendiculatus by John Gould. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 875.00 (€ 1,034.24) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Gould achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Birds of Australia, [1840- 1848-1869, 8 volumes including Supplement|AID711784] in May last year with an auction result of GBP 302,400.00 (€ 355,744.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel, Science & Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ramphastos Tucanus; Ramphastos Osculans; Menura Alberti; And Casuarius Uniappendiculatus von John Gould zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 875,00 (€ 1.034,24) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Gould erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Birds of Australia, [1840- 1848-1869, 8 volumes including Supplement|AID711784] im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 302.400,00 (€ 355.744,81).
