Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours, which included the work "Porter, I Had A Large Chest And I Can'T Find It Anywhere!" "Why, Aint That It, Mum, Under Yer Fur?" (Illustrated); And "You Ought To Be Ashamed of Yourself Asking Me For Money With Your Hands In Your Pockets!" "I'D Be More Ashamed If I Took'Em Out, by Donald Fraser Gould McGill. The price achieved of GBP 600.00 (€ 889.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Donald Fraser Gould McGill - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Look at' er! Look at' er!, which sold at auction in June 2002 for GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,180.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit "Porter, I Had A Large Chest And I Can'T Find It Anywhere!" "Why, Aint That It, Mum, Under Yer Fur?" (Illustrated); And "You Ought To Be Ashamed of Yourself Asking Me For Money With Your Hands In Your Pockets!" "I'D Be More Ashamed If I Took'Em Out, von Donald Fraser Gould McGill zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 600,00 (€ 889,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Donald Fraser Gould McGill mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Look at' er! Look at' er! beobachtet, die im Juni 2002 für GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.180,95) versteigert wurde.
