Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of A Gentleman, Traditionally Identified As Mr John Moncrieff, Seated Three-Quarter-Length, At A Writing Desk by John Watson Gordon was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 250.00 (€ 335.14). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Watson Gordon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Richard Raines Savage, full-length, seated, in a black coat and white waistcoat, with two dogs, in a landscape in December 2000 with an auction result of GBP 17,037.50 (€ 27,140.59).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of A Gentleman, Traditionally Identified As Mr John Moncrieff, Seated Three-Quarter-Length, At A Writing Desk von John Watson Gordon im Januar 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 250,00 (€ 335,14) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Watson Gordon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Richard Raines Savage, full-length, seated, in a black coat and white waistcoat, with two dogs, in a landscape im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.037,50 (€ 27.140,59).
