Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Oliver Preston could be acquired at Christies in London in July 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Watercolours including Original auction, the work "Royal Ascot's not what it used to be -" changed hands for GBP 179.25 (€ 270.89) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Oliver Preston achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cremation Or Burial, Or Would He Prefer A Surprise? in March this year with an auction result of GBP 2,520.00 (€ 2,866.99).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Oliver Preston konnte im Juli 2004 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours including Original wechselte die Arbeit "Royal Ascot's not what it used to be -" für GBP 179,25 (€ 270,89) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Oliver Preston erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cremation Or Burial, Or Would He Prefer A Surprise? im März diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.520,00 (€ 2.866,99).
