Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Lynn ferry by Robert Walker Macbeth was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2011. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,893.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Walker Macbeth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sedge Cutting in Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire - early morning. Sedge cutting is one of the remnants of a fen industry, and Wicken Fen the only remaining portion on which the sedge has free growth. This fen is now reduced to a small acreage by man and in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 65,725.00 (€

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Lynn ferry von Robert Walker Macbeth kam im Oktober 2011 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.893,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Walker Macbeth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sedge Cutting in Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire - early morning. Sedge cutting is one of the remnants of a fen industry, and Wicken Fen the only remaining portion on which the sedge has free growth. This fen is now reduced to a small acreage by man and im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 65.725,00 (€ 95.956,43).
