Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS AND ILLUST, which included the work Jack Frost by John Hassall. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 305.50 (€ 499.14) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by John Hassall have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Victory Parade in September 2004 with an auction result of GBP 1,673.00 (€ 2,437.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS AND ILLUST durch, in der auch die Arbeit Jack Frost von John Hassall zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 305,50 (€ 499,14) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Hassall auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Victory Parade im September 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.673,00 (€ 2.437,35).
