Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2007 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work Portrait of Mrs Phillips And Her Two Children, Full-Length, Seated by Adam Buck. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,314.96) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Adam Buck have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Naval Officer holding his sword under his right arm, facing right in blue coat with black facings, yellow trousers, frilled cravat and black stock, powdered hair en queue in May 2002 with an auction result of GBP 5,975.00 (€ 9,356.93).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Mrs Phillips And Her Two Children, Full-Length, Seated von Adam Buck zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.314,96) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Adam Buck auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Naval Officer holding his sword under his right arm, facing right in blue coat with black facings, yellow trousers, frilled cravat and black stock, powdered hair en queue im Mai 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.975,00 (€ 9.356,93).
