Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Nynee Tal View with Dr. John Murray reading beside the lake with his dog at his feet by John Murray was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 998.75 (€ 1,612.55). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Murray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pavillion and Mosque Attached to the Taj in October 2017 with an auction result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 25,755.49).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Nynee Tal View with Dr. John Murray reading beside the lake with his dog at his feet von John Murray im September 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 998,75 (€ 1.612,55) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Murray erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pavillion and Mosque Attached to the Taj im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 25.755,49).
