Auction result misses estimated price range

In April 2006 a collector was able to acquire the work Market day by Sam Joseph Ntiro for GBP 180.00 (€ 259.79). This price was achieved in the auction British and Continental Pictures at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sam Joseph Ntiro achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chagga Family Feeding in March last year with an auction result of GBP 12,600.00 (€ 14,938.72).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im April 2006 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Market day von Sam Joseph Ntiro für GBP 180,00 (€ 259,79) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British and Continental Pictures bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sam Joseph Ntiro erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chagga Family Feeding im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.600,00 (€ 14.938,72).
