Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Fishing boats with lamps, Kos, Greece; Fishing boats, Hastings; Argarve fisherman; and Dinghy at harbour mouth by Anne E. Christopherson was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,385.08). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Anne E. Christopherson; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Roofs and holly trees, The Point, Greenwich; Woodbridge town hall; and Rooftops, Hyde Vale sold at auction in May 2008 with the realized price of GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,544.09).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Fishing boats with lamps, Kos, Greece; Fishing boats, Hastings; Argarve fisherman; and Dinghy at harbour mouth von Anne E. Christopherson im Mai 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.385,08) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Anne E. Christopherson; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Roofs and holly trees, The Point, Greenwich; Woodbridge town hall; and Rooftops, Hyde Vale im Mai 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.544,09).
