Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2003 Christies in London held the auction At Home-British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper, which included the work Unloading the day's catch on a Scottish quayside; and Mending the nets on the Scottish coast by Alexander Young. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 800.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 881.25 (€ 1,287.15). Admittedly, works by Alexander Young have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sorting Fish, Pittenweem in October 2003 with an auction result of GBP 5,019.00 (€ 7,330.71).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion At Home-British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Unloading the day's catch on a Scottish quayside; and Mending the nets on the Scottish coast von Alexander Young zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 881,25 (€ 1.287,15) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alexander Young auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sorting Fish, Pittenweem im Oktober 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.019,00 (€ 7.330,71).
