A top price for Albert Ernest Markes - as previously expected
In May 2003 Christies in London held the auction Maritime, which included the work A wrecked three-master on the sands with the local inhabitants salvaging what they can by Albert Ernest Markes. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,465.00 (€ 6,220.87) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A wrecked three-master on the sands with the local inhabitants salvaging what they can is the most expensive artwork by Albert Ernest Markes that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime durch, in der auch die Arbeit A wrecked three-master on the sands with the local inhabitants salvaging what they can von Albert Ernest Markes zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.465,00 (€ 6.220,87) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A wrecked three-master on the sands with the local inhabitants salvaging what they can das teuerste Kunstwerk von Albert Ernest Markes, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
