Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Rupert Brooke, circa 1905 by Sherril Schell was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2000. The price achieved of GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,769.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sherril Schell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pattern of Light and Shadow Under Elevated R.R. Looking Up, 1930, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 7,001.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Rupert Brooke, circa 1905 von Sherril Schell kam im September 2000 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.057,50 (€ 1.769,52) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Sherril Schell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pattern of Light and Shadow Under Elevated R.R. Looking Up, 1930 beobachtet, die im November 2007 für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 7.001,29) versteigert wurde.
