A top price for Copley Fielding
When the work An extensive view of Greenwich, London by Copley Fielding was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 25,095.00 (€ 36,062.88). This high result makes An extensive view of Greenwich, London the most expensive artwork by Copley Fielding that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Copley Fielding
Als die Arbeit An extensive view of Greenwich, London von Copley Fielding im Juni 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 25.095,00 (€ 36.062,88) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht An extensive view of Greenwich, London zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Copley Fielding, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
