Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The State Coach; and Study for an autobus coach by John Leigh-Pemberton was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,385.08). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Leigh-Pemberton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Study of a glass coach, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,565.19).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The State Coach; and Study for an autobus coach von John Leigh-Pemberton im Mai 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.385,08) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von John Leigh-Pemberton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Study of a glass coach beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.565,19) versteigert wurde.
