Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2010 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work Fishermen landing the day's catch and sorting their nets on the pier at Yarmouth by Alfred Herbert. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 875.00 (€ 1,045.62) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Alfred Herbert have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Fishing Vessels In A Squall Off Saint Malo, France in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,986.07).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fishermen landing the day's catch and sorting their nets on the pier at Yarmouth von Alfred Herbert zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 875,00 (€ 1.045,62) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alfred Herbert auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Fishing Vessels In A Squall Off Saint Malo, France im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.360,00 (€ 4.986,07).
