A top price for Adolphus Knell - as previously expected
The work A fresh breeze in the Channel; and Evening after a squall off the Cornish coast by Adolphus Knell was sold in the Maritime auction at Christies in London in May 2001. The price achieved of GBP 5,287.50 (€ 8,864.61) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A fresh breeze in the Channel; and Evening after a squall off the Cornish coast is the most expensive artwork by Adolphus Knell that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit A fresh breeze in the Channel; and Evening after a squall off the Cornish coast von Adolphus Knell wurde im Mai 2001 in der Auktion Maritime bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.287,50 (€ 8.864,61) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A fresh breeze in the Channel; and Evening after a squall off the Cornish coast das teuerste Kunstwerk von Adolphus Knell, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
