Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A fishing village by John William Buxton Knight was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 293.75 (€ 464.66). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John William Buxton Knight achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A peaceful river landscape at sunset in September 2007 with an auction result of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 6,811.15).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A fishing village von John William Buxton Knight im Oktober 2002 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 293,75 (€ 464,66) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John William Buxton Knight erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A peaceful river landscape at sunset im September 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 6.811,15).
