Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2011 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work Tuiga leading Mariquita around the North Sentinel buoy off Egypt Point, Cowes by Ron Charles Mitchell. The price achieved of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,288.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ron Charles Mitchell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Magnificent Fifes racing in the inaugural Westward Cup Regatta, 2010, which sold at auction in November 2011 for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,485.11).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tuiga leading Mariquita around the North Sentinel buoy off Egypt Point, Cowes von Ron Charles Mitchell zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.288,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Ron Charles Mitchell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Magnificent Fifes racing in the inaugural Westward Cup Regatta, 2010 beobachtet, die im November 2011 für GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.485,11) versteigert wurde.
