Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by John Sutton could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Maritime Decorative Arts auction, the work Thermopylae and Cuttysark leaving Foochow for London in the Tea race of 1872 changed hands for USD 1,250.00 (€ 976.26) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Admittedly, works by John Sutton have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Britannia, Westward, Lulworth and White Heather racing in Christchurch Bay with the Needles beyond, 1927 in February 2005 with an auction result of USD 7,200.00 (€ 5,424.14).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von John Sutton konnte im Januar 2009 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Maritime Decorative Arts wechselte die Arbeit Thermopylae and Cuttysark leaving Foochow for London in the Tea race of 1872 für USD 1.250,00 (€ 976,26) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Sutton auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Britannia, Westward, Lulworth and White Heather racing in Christchurch Bay with the Needles beyond, 1927 im Februar 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.200,00 (€ 5.424,14).
