A top price for Alfred Herbert - as previously expected
In June 2007 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work Fishing Vessels In A Squall Off Saint Malo, France by Alfred Herbert. 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 3,360.00 (€ 4,986.07) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Fishing Vessels In A Squall Off Saint Malo, France is the most expensive artwork by Alfred Herbert that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fishing Vessels In A Squall Off Saint Malo, France von Alfred Herbert 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 3.360,00 (€ 4.986,07) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Fishing Vessels In A Squall Off Saint Malo, France das teuerste Kunstwerk von Alfred Herbert, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
