Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by John Melville could be acquired at Christies in London in March 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the 20th Century British Art auction, the work Portrait of a seated lady changed hands for GBP 597.50 (€ 894.40) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Melville achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chairs in November 2019 with an auction result of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 20,549.28).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von John Melville konnte im März 2004 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion 20th Century British Art wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of a seated lady für GBP 597,50 (€ 894,40) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Melville erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chairs im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 20.549,28).
