Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Figures before a turret in a Continental landscape by Richard Henry Nibbs was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2000, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 250.00 – 350.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 58.75 (€ 98.31). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Henry Nibbs achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dutch passage boat in May 2005 with an auction result of GBP 10,200.00 (€ 15,058.40).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Figures before a turret in a Continental landscape von Richard Henry Nibbs im September 2000 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 250,00 – 350,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 58,75 (€ 98,31) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Henry Nibbs erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dutch passage boat im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.200,00 (€ 15.058,40).
