Auction result misses estimated price range

In December 2014 a collector was able to acquire the work Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Builder of the Steamship “Leviathan (The Great Eastern),” Standing Against the Launching Chains by Robert Howlett for USD 2,750.00 (€ 2,272.54). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs from the Art Institute of Chicago - Online Only at Phillips in an online auction and was even below the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Howlett achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Isambard Kingdom Brunel By The Launching Chains Of The Great Eastern, 1857 in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 34,100.00 (€ 47,748.82).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Dezember 2014 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Builder of the Steamship “Leviathan (The Great Eastern),” Standing Against the Launching Chains von Robert Howlett für USD 2.750,00 (€ 2.272,54) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs from the Art Institute of Chicago - Online Only bei Phillips in einer Online-Auktion erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Howlett erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Isambard Kingdom Brunel By The Launching Chains Of The Great Eastern, 1857 im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 34.100,00 (€ 47.748,82).
