Auction result misses estimated price range
In February 2007 a collector was able to acquire the work Officers of the Royal Artillery by Richard Simkin for GBP 360.00 (€ 533.69). This price was achieved in the auction British & Continental Watercolours at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Simkin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 10th Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars; and three others in January 2001 with an auction result of USD 5,287.50 (€ 5,680.60).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Februar 2007 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Officers of the Royal Artillery von Richard Simkin für GBP 360,00 (€ 533,69) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British & Continental Watercolours bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Simkin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 10th Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars; and three others im Januar 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.287,50 (€ 5.680,60).
