Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The New Born Baby by Sue Macartney-Snape was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 250.00 – 300.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 240.00 (€ 355.70). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sue Macartney-Snape achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sunday morning in the shires in December 2004 with an auction result of GBP 3,346.00 (€ 4,735.51).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The New Born Baby von Sue Macartney-Snape im Juni 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 250,00 – 300,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 240,00 (€ 355,70) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sue Macartney-Snape erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sunday morning in the shires im Dezember 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.346,00 (€ 4.735,51).
