Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2006 a collector was able to acquire the work A Norfolk Timber Yard by John Joseph Cotman for GBP 780.00 (€ 1,158.32). This price was achieved in the auction British and Continental Pictures including Marine pictures at Sothebys in Olympia and was even below the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Joseph Cotman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sandpits near Norwich, with the river Wherry beyond, which sold at auction in September 2006 for GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,655.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2006 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Norfolk Timber Yard von John Joseph Cotman für GBP 780,00 (€ 1.158,32) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British and Continental Pictures including Marine pictures bei Sothebys in Olympia erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Joseph Cotman mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sandpits near Norwich, with the river Wherry beyond beobachtet, die im September 2006 für GBP 1.800,00 (€ 2.655,38) versteigert wurde.
