Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS AND ILLUST, which included the work Figures before an Irish post office by Alfred Downing Fripp. The price achieved of GBP 1,175.00 (€ 1,919.79) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfred Downing Fripp - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pompeii, Italy, which sold at auction in November 2003 for GBP 2,868.00 (€ 4,117.06).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS AND ILLUST durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figures before an Irish post office von Alfred Downing Fripp zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.175,00 (€ 1.919,79) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Alfred Downing Fripp mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pompeii, Italy beobachtet, die im November 2003 für GBP 2.868,00 (€ 4.117,06) versteigert wurde.
