Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Lynton Wells could be acquired at Christies in New York in July 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the House Sale auction, the work Landscape; and two companion paintings changed hands for USD 120.00 (€ 87.52) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lynton Wells achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ccyd 7475 in May 2008 with an auction result of EUR 5,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Lynton Wells konnte im Juli 2007 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion House Sale wechselte die Arbeit Landscape; and two companion paintings für USD 120,00 (€ 87,52) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.200,00 – 1.800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lynton Wells erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ccyd 7475 im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 5.000,00.
