Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Robert Colquhoun could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the 20th Century British Art auction, the work Bird Man changed hands for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 9,846.48) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Colquhoun achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Two Sisters in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 102,000.00 (€ 149,850.89).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Colquhoun konnte im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion 20th Century British Art wechselte die Arbeit Bird Man für GBP 9.375,00 (€ 9.846,48) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Colquhoun erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Two Sisters im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 102.000,00 (€ 149.850,89).
