Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2003 Christies in London held the auction British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book, which included the work 'Since We Moved To The Country Our Quality Of Life Has Doubled' by Oliver Preston. The price achieved of GBP 470.00 (€ 665.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Admittedly, works by Oliver Preston have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Since We Moved To The Country Our Quality Of Life Has Doubled' von Oliver Preston zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 470,00 (€ 665,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Oliver Preston auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
