Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Peter La Cave could be acquired at Christies in London in July 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Giving directions changed hands for GBP 250.00 (€ 317.63) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter La Cave achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Figures outside an inn, with a sow and piglets, houses beyond; and Figures sharpening a scythe, with two donkeys, farm buildings beyond in October 2011 with an auction result of GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,509.87).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Peter La Cave konnte im Juli 2008 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Giving directions für GBP 250,00 (€ 317,63) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter La Cave erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Figures outside an inn, with a sow and piglets, houses beyond; and Figures sharpening a scythe, with two donkeys, farm buildings beyond im Oktober 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.509,87).
