Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Grecian muse by Margaret Murray Cookesley was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2005. The price achieved of GBP 960.00 (€ 1,392.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Margaret Murray Cookesley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Restful Moment by the Lion Fountain at the Alhambra, Spain in April 2007 with an auction result of USD 28,800.00 (€ 21,083.46).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Grecian muse von Margaret Murray Cookesley kam im Juli 2005 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 960,00 (€ 1.392,47) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Margaret Murray Cookesley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Restful Moment by the Lion Fountain at the Alhambra, Spain im April 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 28.800,00 (€ 21.083,46).
