Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Thames-Side Conversation by George Dunlop Leslie was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 16,250.00 (€ 17,841.42). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Dunlop Leslie achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pot-Pourri in November 2002 with an auction result of GBP 446,650.00 (€ 699,430.87).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Thames-Side Conversation von George Dunlop Leslie im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 16.250,00 (€ 17.841,42) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Dunlop Leslie erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pot-Pourri im November 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 446.650,00 (€ 699.430,87).
