Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Two portraits of Women, c.1860s by Julia Margaret Cameron was auctioned at Christies in London in October this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,032.00 (€ 3,815.29). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Julia Margaret Cameron achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sir John Herschel in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 112,500.00 (€ 103,258.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Two portraits of Women, c.1860s von Julia Margaret Cameron im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.032,00 (€ 3.815,29) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Julia Margaret Cameron erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sir John Herschel im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 112.500,00 (€ 103.258,38).
