Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John William Ashton could be acquired at Christies in London in June 2001 for an unexpectedly low price. In the BRITISH & CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS,DRAWINGS & ILLUSTRATIONS auction, the work Fishing Vessels In Calm Seas changed hands for GBP 293.75 (€ 487.98) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John William Ashton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Neutral Bay, Sydney Harbour in November 2000 with an auction result of AUD 32,900.00 (€ 19,912.56).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John William Ashton konnte im Juni 2001 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion BRITISH & CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS,DRAWINGS & ILLUSTRATIONS wechselte die Arbeit Fishing Vessels In Calm Seas für GBP 293,75 (€ 487,98) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John William Ashton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Neutral Bay, Sydney Harbour im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 32.900,00 (€ 19.912,56).
