Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2007 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations, which included the work An afternoon spent in the book shop by John Strickland Goodall. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 540.00 (€ 802.02) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by John Strickland Goodall have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Britishthe Tennis Party; Tennis On A Summer'S Afternoon in October 2008 with an auction result of GBP 5,625.00 (€ 7,169.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations durch, in der auch die Arbeit An afternoon spent in the book shop von John Strickland Goodall zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 540,00 (€ 802,02) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Strickland Goodall auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Britishthe Tennis Party; Tennis On A Summer'S Afternoon im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.625,00 (€ 7.169,86).
