Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Pádraig MacMiadhacháin could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Irish Sale auction, the work Quiet Myths of Old History, Mullet Peninsula, Mayo changed hands for GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,385.08) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pádraig MacMiadhacháin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Waiting For The Tide, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 5,026.23).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Pádraig MacMiadhacháin konnte im Mai 2008 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Irish Sale wechselte die Arbeit Quiet Myths of Old History, Mullet Peninsula, Mayo für GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.385,08) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Pádraig MacMiadhacháin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Waiting For The Tide beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 5.026,23) versteigert wurde.
