Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Underground Map of London by Reginald Percy Gossop was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2012, 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 625.00 (€ 777.08). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Reginald Percy Gossop - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Book To Colindale Or Hendon Central, which sold at auction in November 2010 for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,792.50).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Underground Map of London von Reginald Percy Gossop im Oktober 2012 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 625,00 (€ 777,08) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Reginald Percy Gossop mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Book To Colindale Or Hendon Central beobachtet, die im November 2010 für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.792,50) versteigert wurde.
