Auction result well in line with expectations

In September 2005 Christies in London held the auction Travel and Natural History, which included the work The Matterhorn seen from the summit of Monte Rosa at Dawn by Victor Coverley-Price. The price achieved of GBP 480.00 (€ 704.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Admittedly, works by Victor Coverley-Price 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 Heart of the City; the Royal Exchange in May 2002 with an auction result of GBP 2,091.25 (€ 3,274.93).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im September 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel and Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Matterhorn seen from the summit of Monte Rosa at Dawn von Victor Coverley-Price zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 480,00 (€ 704,44) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Victor Coverley-Price auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Heart of the City; the Royal Exchange im Mai 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.091,25 (€ 3.274,93).
