Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Cornworthy Abbey, South Hams, Devon by John White Abbott was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 2,036.93). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John White Abbott achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ugbrooke, Devon in June 2006 with an auction result of GBP 38,400.00 (€ 55,564.16).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Cornworthy Abbey, South Hams, Devon von John White Abbott im Dezember 2015 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 2.036,93) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John White Abbott erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ugbrooke, Devon im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 38.400,00 (€ 55.564,16).
