Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2004 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours including Original, which included the work Fen folk by Tom Lloyd. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,015.75 (€ 1,535.02) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tom Lloyd - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Otter hunting, Bolton Abbey, which sold at auction in June 2004 for GBP 3,585.00 (€ 5,335.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours including Original durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fen folk von Tom Lloyd zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.015,75 (€ 1.535,02) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Tom Lloyd mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Otter hunting, Bolton Abbey beobachtet, die im Juni 2004 für GBP 3.585,00 (€ 5.335,55) versteigert wurde.
