Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2016 Christies in London held the auction Topographical Pictures, which included the work Six views of the Niagara Falls by Major Charles Frederick Gibson. The price achieved of GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,138.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Major Charles Frederick Gibson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Seven views of Halifax, Nova Scotia, which sold at auction in December 2016 for GBP 13,125.00 (€ 15,345.25).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Topographical Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Six views of the Niagara Falls von Major Charles Frederick Gibson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.138,10) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Major Charles Frederick Gibson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Seven views of Halifax, Nova Scotia beobachtet, die im Dezember 2016 für GBP 13.125,00 (€ 15.345,25) versteigert wurde.
