Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Silenus and the Nymph Aegle by Joseph Noel Paton was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 9,600.00 (€ 14,157.10). Admittedly, works by Joseph Noel Paton have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Mors Janua Vitae (Death the Gateway to Life) So wounded and weary from the conflict, he rose and followed the beckoning Shadow. His steps were feeble by reason of his sore hurts; but his heart quailed not, for he knew that ere now his Lord had trodd in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 45,410.00 (€ 65,
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Silenus and the Nymph Aegle von Joseph Noel Paton im Oktober 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 9.600,00 (€ 14.157,10) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joseph Noel Paton auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Mors Janua Vitae (Death the Gateway to Life) So wounded and weary from the conflict, he rose and followed the beckoning Shadow. His steps were feeble by reason of his sore hurts; but his heart quailed not, for he knew that ere now his Lord had trodd im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 45.410,00 (€ 65.186,73).
