Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The Thames barge Cicely of London approaching Tower Bridge by Hubert James Medleycott was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2010, 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 375.00 (€ 439.36). Admittedly, works by Hubert James Medleycott have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Towing Down River In The Pool of London in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,134.17).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The Thames barge Cicely of London approaching Tower Bridge von Hubert James Medleycott im Mai 2010 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 375,00 (€ 439,36) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hubert James Medleycott auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Towing Down River In The Pool of London im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.440,00 (€ 2.134,17).
