A top price for Alexander Leggett - as previously expected
In September 2003 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Saved from the wreck by Alexander Leggett. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,290.00 (€ 3,313.93) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Saved from the wreck is the most expensive artwork by Alexander Leggett that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im September 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saved from the wreck von Alexander Leggett zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.290,00 (€ 3.313,93) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Saved from the wreck das teuerste Kunstwerk von Alexander Leggett, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
