In May 2006 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Pictures, which included the work Landing Fish, Concarneau by Arthur J. Legge. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 624.00 (€ 910.84), 56% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur J. Legge - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Evening by a Dutch canal, which sold at auction in March 2007 for GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,296.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Landing Fish, Concarneau von Arthur J. Legge zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 624,00 (€ 910,84) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur J. Legge mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Evening by a Dutch canal beobachtet, die im März 2007 für GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.296,14) versteigert wurde.
