Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2008 Christies in London held the auction The Arthur Ackermann and Peter Johnson Collection: A Connoisseur's Choice, which included the work Off to the fishing grounds by Alfred Herbert. The price achieved of GBP 1,187.50 (€ 1,510.55) 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 Herbert - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fishing Vessels In A Squall Off Saint Malo, France, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,986.07).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Arthur Ackermann and Peter Johnson Collection: A Connoisseur's Choice durch, in der auch die Arbeit Off to the fishing grounds von Alfred Herbert zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.187,50 (€ 1.510,55) 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 Herbert mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fishing Vessels In A Squall Off Saint Malo, France beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für GBP 3.360,00 (€ 4.986,07) versteigert wurde.
