Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Leonard Raven-Hill could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2006 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Watercolours auction, the work The Chance of A Lifetime changed hands for GBP 180.00 (€ 267.31) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 200.00 – 400.00. Admittedly, works by Leonard Raven-Hill have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'President Wilson Starts Again For Europe' in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 1,020.00 (€ 1,511.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Leonard Raven-Hill konnte im November 2006 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours wechselte die Arbeit The Chance of A Lifetime für GBP 180,00 (€ 267,31) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 200,00 – 400,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Leonard Raven-Hill auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'President Wilson Starts Again For Europe' im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.020,00 (€ 1.511,70).
