Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Two views of Falmouth, one seen from the south (one illustrated) by Joseph Farington was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 812.50 (€ 970.94). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Farington achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The gatehouse on the bridge over the River Severn at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, with the church of St. Leonard beyond in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 14,340.00 (€ 20,585.28).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Two views of Falmouth, one seen from the south (one illustrated) von Joseph Farington im November 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 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 812,50 (€ 970,94) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Farington erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The gatehouse on the bridge over the River Severn at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, with the church of St. Leonard beyond im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.340,00 (€ 20.585,28).
