Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The Bishop's Palace, St. Davids by Valerie Thornton was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 180.00 (€ 263.54). Admittedly, works by Valerie Thornton have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The church entrance in April 2007 with an auction result of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,284.04).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The Bishop's Palace, St. Davids von Valerie Thornton im April 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 180,00 (€ 263,54) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Valerie Thornton auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The church entrance im April 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.284,04).
