Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Two views of Spencer House by Leslie Worth was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,653.28). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Leslie Worth - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Boy And Bicycle, which sold at auction in November 2006 for GBP 4,320.00 (€ 6,415.34).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Two views of Spencer House von Leslie Worth im Juli 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 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.653,28) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Leslie Worth mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Boy And Bicycle beobachtet, die im November 2006 für GBP 4.320,00 (€ 6.415,34) versteigert wurde.
