Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction The Scottish Sale, which included the work Sketch for 'Catechising in a Scottish School' by George Harvey. The price achieved of GBP 6,600.00 (€ 9,712.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Harvey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scenes Of The Primitive Forest Of America, which sold at auction in June this year for USD 40,320.00 (€ 36,923.08).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Scottish Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sketch for 'Catechising in a Scottish School' von George Harvey zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.600,00 (€ 9.712,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von George Harvey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Scenes Of The Primitive Forest Of America beobachtet, die im Juni diesen Jahres für USD 40.320,00 (€ 36.923,08) versteigert wurde.
