Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Watermill, Probably Near Croydon by Jonathan Skelton was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,725.67). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jonathan Skelton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Ponte Lucano and the Tomb of the Plautii, Rome, which sold at auction in December 2012 for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,707.99).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Watermill, Probably Near Croydon von Jonathan Skelton im Juli 2011 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.725,67) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Jonathan Skelton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Ponte Lucano and the Tomb of the Plautii, Rome beobachtet, die im Dezember 2012 für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.707,99) versteigert wurde.
