Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Sargeant Dickson, Old Bill of the Eighth Army, who served under Wavell, O'Connor, Auchinlech and Montgomery; Brigadier White, C.S.O. Eighth Army; G.W. Rees, Medical Officer; Alan L. Louder, Administration, D.A.A.G. Rome Allied Command; Noel Chamberla by Sam Morse Brown was auctioned at Christies in London in August 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even th Admittedly, works by Sam Morse Brown have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The crucifixion of humanity in August 2006 with an auction result of GBP 5,400.00 (€ 8,030.14).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Sargeant Dickson, Old Bill of the Eighth Army, who served under Wavell, O'Connor, Auchinlech and Montgomery; Brigadier White, C.S.O. Eighth Army; G.W. Rees, Medical Officer; Alan L. Louder, Administration, D.A.A.G. Rome Allied Command; Noel Chamberla von Sam Morse Brown im August 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.320,00 (€ 1.962,92) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sam Morse Brown auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The crucifixion of humanity im August 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.400,00 (€ 8.030,14).
