Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The Cathedral at Louviers, Normandy by Lewis John Wood was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 420.00 (€ 633.68). Admittedly, works by Lewis John Wood have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Boppard on the Rhine in August 2002 with an auction result of GBP 2,232.50 (€ 3,523.37).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The Cathedral at Louviers, Normandy von Lewis John Wood im Januar 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 420,00 (€ 633,68) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lewis John Wood auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Boppard on the Rhine im August 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.232,50 (€ 3.523,37).
