Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Peter Cross could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot auction, the work A Young Lady, In Blue Daygown, White Chemise And Red Shawl, Yellow Flowers In Her Hair; Sky Background changed hands for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,529.45) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Cross - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A young gentleman erroneously called Duke of Monmouth, facing left in grey coat, lace jabot and blue cloak over his right shoulder, full bottomed wig, which sold at auction in November 2000 for GBP 19,975.00 (€ 32,648.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Peter Cross konnte im November 2013 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot wechselte die Arbeit A Young Lady, In Blue Daygown, White Chemise And Red Shawl, Yellow Flowers In Her Hair; Sky Background für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 10.529,45) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Cross mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A young gentleman erroneously called Duke of Monmouth, facing left in grey coat, lace jabot and blue cloak over his right shoulder, full bottomed wig beobachtet, die im November 2000 für GBP 19.975,00 (€ 32.648,35) versteigert wurde.
