Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Landkey Lime Kilne, North Devon; and Cottage scene near Exeter by John Wallace Tucker was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 562.50 (€ 648.57). Admittedly, works by John Wallace Tucker have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Near Ogave, Exeter in May 2007 with an auction result of GBP 3,120.00 (€ 4,591.29).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Landkey Lime Kilne, North Devon; and Cottage scene near Exeter von John Wallace Tucker im Oktober 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 562,50 (€ 648,57) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Wallace Tucker auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Near Ogave, Exeter im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.120,00 (€ 4.591,29).
