Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work "Ailsa" And "Britannia" Rounding The Needles In A Flat Calm by Michael James Whitehand was auctioned at Sothebys in Olympia in November 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,320.00 (€ 1,960.24). Admittedly, works by Michael James Whitehand have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ailsa and Britannia racing at the Royal Clyde Yacht Club Regatta in July 2004 with an auction result of USD 19,120.00 (€ 15,890.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit "Ailsa" And "Britannia" Rounding The Needles In A Flat Calm von Michael James Whitehand im November 2006 bei Sothebys in Olympia versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.320,00 (€ 1.960,24) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Michael James Whitehand auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ailsa and Britannia racing at the Royal Clyde Yacht Club Regatta im Juli 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 19.120,00 (€ 15.890,96).
