Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction British & Irish Art, which included the work St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh by Louis Grimshaw. The price achieved of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 28,579.95) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis Grimshaw - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Royal Mile, Edinburgh: the approach to Holyrood Palace, which sold at auction in June 2004 for GBP 60,945.00 (€ 90,704.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion British & Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh von Louis Grimshaw zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 28.579,95) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Louis Grimshaw mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Royal Mile, Edinburgh: the approach to Holyrood Palace beobachtet, die im Juni 2004 für GBP 60.945,00 (€ 90.704,41) versteigert wurde.
