Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours, which included the work Distant Thoughts; And The Love Letter (One Illustrated) by Paul Falconer Poole. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 840.00 (€ 1,247.43) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paul Falconer Poole achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'The Conspiracy of Sebastian and Antonio', central panel of a triptych in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 81,260.00 (€ 118,637.04).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Distant Thoughts; And The Love Letter (One Illustrated) von Paul Falconer Poole zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 840,00 (€ 1.247,43) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paul Falconer Poole erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'The Conspiracy of Sebastian and Antonio', central panel of a triptych im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 81.260,00 (€ 118.637,04).
