Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
In May 2006 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Pictures, which included the work America'S Cup, 1887: Volunteer Versus Thistle Off The Sandy Hook Light Vessel by Andrew Bennett. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 780.00 (€ 1,138.55), 56% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Andrew Bennett have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Endeavour And Velsheda Racing Off The Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes, 1934 in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 5,040.00 (€ 7,404.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit America'S Cup, 1887: Volunteer Versus Thistle Off The Sandy Hook Light Vessel von Andrew Bennett zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 780,00 (€ 1.138,55) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Andrew Bennett auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Endeavour And Velsheda Racing Off The Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes, 1934 im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.040,00 (€ 7.404,40).
