Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A wooded river landscape with figures and cattle in the foreground, ruins on a hill beyond by Peter La Cave was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,920.00 (€ 2,811.13). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter La Cave - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Figures outside an inn, with a sow and piglets, houses beyond; and Figures sharpening a scythe, with two donkeys, farm buildings beyond, which sold at auction in October 2011 for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,509.87).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A wooded river landscape with figures and cattle in the foreground, ruins on a hill beyond von Peter La Cave im April 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.920,00 (€ 2.811,13) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter La Cave mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Figures outside an inn, with a sow and piglets, houses beyond; and Figures sharpening a scythe, with two donkeys, farm buildings beyond beobachtet, die im Oktober 2011 für GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.509,87) versteigert wurde.
