Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A beached brig at dusk by Adolphus Knell was auctioned at Christies in London in August 2005. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 504.00 (€ 736.26). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Adolphus Knell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A fresh breeze in the Channel; and Evening after a squall off the Cornish coast in May 2001 with an auction result of GBP 5,287.50 (€ 8,864.61).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit A beached brig at dusk von Adolphus Knell kam im August 2005 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 504,00 (€ 736,26) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Adolphus Knell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A fresh breeze in the Channel; and Evening after a squall off the Cornish coast im Mai 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.287,50 (€ 8.864,61).
