Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Luberon covered in snow, Provence, France; and Blue Luberon, Provence, France by Ray Garvey was auctioned at Christies in London in August 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 240.00 (€ 356.90). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ray Garvey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hale-Bopp over Provence, France, which sold at auction in August 2006 for GBP 720.00 (€ 1,070.69).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Luberon covered in snow, Provence, France; and Blue Luberon, Provence, France von Ray Garvey im August 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 240,00 (€ 356,90) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Ray Garvey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Hale-Bopp over Provence, France beobachtet, die im August 2006 für GBP 720,00 (€ 1.070,69) versteigert wurde.
