Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Kangchenjunga Massif by Theodore Howard Somervell was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,844.90) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Theodore Howard Somervell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Matterhorn, which sold at auction in September 2007 for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 6,273.43).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Kangchenjunga Massif von Theodore Howard Somervell kam im September 2008 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.844,90) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Theodore Howard Somervell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Matterhorn beobachtet, die im September 2007 für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 6.273,43) versteigert wurde.
