Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Fontwell Park Steeplechase by Peter Howell was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,780.00 (€ 3,225.81). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Howell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A set of four polo scenes at a polo match at Cowdray Park: Going for the Ball, Taking a Backhander, Where is it gone? and Half-Time, which sold at auction in December 2005 for USD 7,800.00 (€ 6,586.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Fontwell Park Steeplechase von Peter Howell im September 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.780,00 (€ 3.225,81) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Howell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A set of four polo scenes at a polo match at Cowdray Park: Going for the Ball, Taking a Backhander, Where is it gone? and Half-Time beobachtet, die im Dezember 2005 für USD 7.800,00 (€ 6.586,73) versteigert wurde.
