Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2010 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Study of a lion's head; and Study of a sleeping lioness by Raymond John Vandenbergh. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 437.50 (€ 504.44) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Raymond John Vandenbergh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Three studies of lions and tigers, which sold at auction in July 2008 for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,905.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study of a lion's head; and Study of a sleeping lioness von Raymond John Vandenbergh zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 437,50 (€ 504,44) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Raymond John Vandenbergh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Three studies of lions and tigers beobachtet, die im Juli 2008 für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.905,77) versteigert wurde.
