Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Robert Sargent Austin could be acquired at Christies in London in July 2006 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Watercolours auction, the work Girl Arranging Lilies changed hands for GBP 240.00 (€ 351.33) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Admittedly, works by Robert Sargent Austin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work a collection of etchings comprising: The Bride; The Curtain; The Lace-Seller; Evening; Café Scene; Sea Bouquet; Munich and At Prayer, on wove and laid papers, each signed in pencil, with margins, all apparently in good condition, three framed in May 2005 with an auction result of GBP 1,320.00 (€ 1,948.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Sargent Austin konnte im Juli 2006 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours wechselte die Arbeit Girl Arranging Lilies für GBP 240,00 (€ 351,33) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Sargent Austin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit a collection of etchings comprising: The Bride; The Curtain; The Lace-Seller; Evening; Café Scene; Sea Bouquet; Munich and At Prayer, on wove and laid papers, each signed in pencil, with margins, all apparently in good condition, three framed im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.320,00 (€ 1.948,73).
