Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Large Collection Of Sketchbooks by Axel Herman Haig was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2008. The price achieved of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 4,988.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Axel Herman Haig - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work St Fin Barre'S Cathedral, Cork, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 10,800.00 (€ 15,892.93).
