This artwork by Alfred Montague achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in April this year. In the The Marine Sale auction, the work French fishing boats sold for GBP 1,530.00 (€ 1,743.70) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfred Montague - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A blustery day in the estuary, which sold at auction in November 2003 for GBP 3,760.00 (€ 5,397.54).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 91 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alfred Montague erzielte im April diesen Jahres bei Bonhams einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Marine Sale wurde die Arbeit French fishing boats für GBP 1.530,00 (€ 1.743,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Alfred Montague mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A blustery day in the estuary beobachtet, die im November 2003 für GBP 3.760,00 (€ 5.397,54) versteigert wurde.
