Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work On Mount Palatine, Rome by John 'Warwick' Smith was auctioned at Bonhams in London in December this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,800.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,536.00 (€ 1,769.41). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John 'Warwick' Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work St. Cosimato And Remains Of The Claudian Aqueduct: Situated On The River Anio, 10 Miles Above Tivoli, In The Apennines; And Port Of Terracina, And Ruins Of Anticul Anxur, Situated On The Confines Of The Roman Territories, Entering The Kingdom Of Napl in December 2007 with an auction result of GBP 16,100.00 (€
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit On Mount Palatine, Rome von John 'Warwick' Smith im Dezember diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.800,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.536,00 (€ 1.769,41) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John 'Warwick' Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit St. Cosimato And Remains Of The Claudian Aqueduct: Situated On The River Anio, 10 Miles Above Tivoli, In The Apennines; And Port Of Terracina, And Ruins Of Anticul Anxur, Situated On The Confines Of The Roman Territories, Entering The Kingdom Of Napl im Dezember 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.100,00 (€ 21.877,17).
