Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work An album of thirty caricatures in the style of Punch illustrations, many depicting Isle of Wight subjects, including illustrations for 'The Whitwell Lantern' by Robert McInnes was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,461 Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert McInnes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Venetian fiesta in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,823.24).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit An album of thirty caricatures in the style of Punch illustrations, many depicting Isle of Wight subjects, including illustrations for 'The Whitwell Lantern' von Robert McInnes im Dezember 2016 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.461,45) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert McInnes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Venetian fiesta im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.823,24).
