Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Heading Off To The Fishing Grounds (Illustrated); And Returning With The Day'S Catch by Frederick Calvert was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2006, 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 1,800.00 (€ 2,673.06). Admittedly, works by Frederick Calvert have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ports of the English Channel comprising Folkestone, Ramsgate, Cowes and Dover in October 2008 with an auction result of GBP 16,250.00 (€ 20,712.92).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Heading Off To The Fishing Grounds (Illustrated); And Returning With The Day'S Catch von Frederick Calvert im November 2006 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 1.800,00 (€ 2.673,06) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Frederick Calvert auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ports of the English Channel comprising Folkestone, Ramsgate, Cowes and Dover im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 20.712,92).
