Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Veterinary Infirmary by George Cruikshank was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 250.00 – 350.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 199.75 (€ 331.82). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Cruikshank achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Study for 'The Highland Whisky-Still' in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 7,409.00 (€ 10,816.91).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Veterinary Infirmary von George Cruikshank im Juni 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 250,00 – 350,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 199,75 (€ 331,82) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Cruikshank erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Study for 'The Highland Whisky-Still' im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.409,00 (€ 10.816,91).
