Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Convolvulus beside a birds nest, on a mossy bank; and A birds nest with eggs, on a mossy bank by William Cruickshank was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 240.00 (€ 356.19). Admittedly, works by William Cruickshank have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A cat and mouse with a pheasant and a rabbit in a larder; and Pheasant and a hare in a larder in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 1,527.50 (€ 2,421.28).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Convolvulus beside a birds nest, on a mossy bank; and A birds nest with eggs, on a mossy bank von William Cruickshank im Dezember 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 240,00 (€ 356,19) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Cruickshank auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A cat and mouse with a pheasant and a rabbit in a larder; and Pheasant and a hare in a larder im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.527,50 (€ 2.421,28).
