Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Drynachan, Cawdor, Nairnshire by Robert Davies was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 437.00 (€ 522.21). Admittedly, works by Robert Davies have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Italian Defence in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,671.11).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Drynachan, Cawdor, Nairnshire von Robert Davies im November 2010 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 437,00 (€ 522,21) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Davies auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Italian Defence im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.800,00 (€ 2.671,11).
