Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Irex racing to windward with Calshot off her starboard quarter; and Galatea approaching the windward mark with the Royal Yacht Squadron off her stern by Barlow Moore was sold in the Maritime auction at Christies in London in May 2000. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 998.75 (€ 1,602.63), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Barlow Moore - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Storm, Fishing Boat Passing The Elbe, Lightvessel, which sold at auction in July 2007 for GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,990.38).
