Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work Why Wait Till Later? by Marc Fernand Severin for GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,709.57). This price was achieved in the auction Posters With A Purpose: The London Transport Museum Sale at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Marc Fernand Severin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Way Home, which sold at auction in November 2010 for GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,779.99).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Why Wait Till Later? von Marc Fernand Severin für GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.709,57) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Posters With A Purpose: The London Transport Museum Sale bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Marc Fernand Severin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Way Home beobachtet, die im November 2010 für GBP 4.000,00 (€ 4.779,99) versteigert wurde.
