Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2006 Christies in London held the auction British, Continental and Russian Pictures, which included the work Zula and Polar Bear, Founder members of the Animal Green Cross, Bermuda; and Studies of Leo having a siesta by Sam Morse Brown. It changed hands for a price of GBP 780.00 (€ 1,159.91) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 500.00 – 800.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British, Continental and Russian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Zula and Polar Bear, Founder members of the Animal Green Cross, Bermuda; and Studies of Leo having a siesta von Sam Morse Brown zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 780,00 (€ 1.159,91) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 500,00 – 800,00. 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).
