Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work 'Gothic Window, Aug. 1980'; 'Witley Court, Worcestershire Nov. 1981' by Simon Marsden was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2000, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 223.25 (€ 381.60). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Simon Marsden achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Coolbawn House, Co. Wexford, Ca. 1975 Gothic Window, Castle Bernard, Co. Cork, Ca. 1975 Milton Lockhart House, Lanarkshire, Scotland, Ca. 1978 Plas Pren, Denbighshire, Wales, Ca. 1978 in April 2014 with an auction result of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,325.39).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit 'Gothic Window, Aug. 1980'; 'Witley Court, Worcestershire Nov. 1981' von Simon Marsden im Oktober 2000 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 223,25 (€ 381,60) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Simon Marsden erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Coolbawn House, Co. Wexford, Ca. 1975 Gothic Window, Castle Bernard, Co. Cork, Ca. 1975 Milton Lockhart House, Lanarkshire, Scotland, Ca. 1978 Plas Pren, Denbighshire, Wales, Ca. 1978 im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.325,39).
