A top price for Arthur Tucker
When the work Buttermere, Cumberland by Arthur Tucker was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,997.50 (€ 2,893.63). This high result makes Buttermere, Cumberland the most expensive artwork by Arthur Tucker that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Arthur Tucker
Als die Arbeit Buttermere, Cumberland von Arthur Tucker im März 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 500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.997,50 (€ 2.893,63) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Buttermere, Cumberland zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Arthur Tucker, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
