Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Nevin Granite Quarries, North Wales by Bertram Priestman was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2013, 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 500.00 (€ 571.34). Admittedly, works by Bertram Priestman 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 Angler; Green Valley in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 3,840.00 (€ 5,702.52).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Nevin Granite Quarries, North Wales von Bertram Priestman im Juli 2013 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 500,00 (€ 571,34) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bertram Priestman auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Angler; Green Valley im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.840,00 (€ 5.702,52).
