Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Factory with tall chimney and workman with sacks, 1909 by Bernard Leach was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,800.00 – 2,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,155.82). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bernard Leach achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Vase With 'Leaping Fish' Design in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 38,346.80).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Factory with tall chimney and workman with sacks, 1909 von Bernard Leach im November 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.800,00 – 2.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.155,82) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bernard Leach erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Vase With 'Leaping Fish' Design im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 38.346,80).
