Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Houses on a moor by Archibald Kay was sold in the British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings auction at Christies in London in March 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 836.50 (€ 1,252.16) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Archibald Kay - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work South Queensferry, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,452.15).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Houses on a moor von Archibald Kay wurde im März 2004 in der Auktion British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 836,50 (€ 1.252,16) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Archibald Kay mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit South Queensferry beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.452,15) versteigert wurde.
