Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work 'Hallo Old Boy'; The Refusal (Illustrated); And 'Too Much Familiarity Breeds Contemptory' by George Finch Mason was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 275.00 (€ 304.24). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Finch Mason achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The London To Norwich Coach With A Hunt Beyond in November 2004 with an auction result of GBP 5,975.00 (€ 8,595.01).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit 'Hallo Old Boy'; The Refusal (Illustrated); And 'Too Much Familiarity Breeds Contemptory' von George Finch Mason im Juni 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 275,00 (€ 304,24) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Finch Mason erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The London To Norwich Coach With A Hunt Beyond im November 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.975,00 (€ 8.595,01).
