Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Brigs on High Seas by Samuel Atkins was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 956.00 (€ 975.91). Admittedly, works by Samuel Atkins 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 Honourable East India Company's ships Devonshire, Woodford and Lord Duncan lying on the Thames off Blackwall (illustrated) ; View of Battersea; and View of Penny's Dockyard at Blackwall (illustrated) in November 2010 with an auction result of GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,779.99).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Brigs on High Seas von Samuel Atkins im Juli 2002 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 956,00 (€ 975,91) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Samuel Atkins auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Honourable East India Company's ships Devonshire, Woodford and Lord Duncan lying on the Thames off Blackwall (illustrated) ; View of Battersea; and View of Penny's Dockyard at Blackwall (illustrated) im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.000,00 (€ 4.779,99).
