Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Natural History of Uncommon Birds: Six Plates by George Edwards was sold in the The House Sale auction at Christies in New York in February 2006. The price achieved of USD 2,640.00 (€ 2,213.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Edwards - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Twelve Ornithological Studies, from A Natural History of Uncommon Birds, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,541.27).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Natural History of Uncommon Birds: Six Plates von George Edwards wurde im Februar 2006 in der Auktion The House Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.640,00 (€ 2.213,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von George Edwards mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Twelve Ornithological Studies, from A Natural History of Uncommon Birds beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.541,27) versteigert wurde.
