Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Clearing The Buoy by Samuel Austin was sold in the British Art on Paper auction at Christies in London in June 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,986.07) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Samuel Austin have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work St John's Market, Liverpool in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 15,275.00 (€ 24,307.34).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Clearing The Buoy von Samuel Austin wurde im Juni 2007 in der Auktion British Art on Paper bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.360,00 (€ 4.986,07) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Samuel Austin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit St John's Market, Liverpool im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.275,00 (€ 24.307,34).
