Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Bruges; and View of Stokesay Castle, Shropshire by Charles Green was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2004, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,792.50 (€ 2,667.78). Admittedly, works by Charles Green have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Dancing Girls and Musicians, Coromandel, Madras in September 2003 with an auction result of GBP 11,950.00 (€ 12,036.91).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Bruges; and View of Stokesay Castle, Shropshire von Charles Green im Juni 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.792,50 (€ 2.667,78) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Charles Green auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Dancing Girls and Musicians, Coromandel, Madras im September 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.950,00 (€ 12.036,91).
