In October last year Bonhams in London held the auction The Marine Sale, which included the work 'Dreadnought off the Fastnet' by Barry Mason. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,805.00 (€ 3,267.79), 56% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Barry Mason - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The extreme clipper Leander bowling along in the trade winds, which sold at auction in May 2010 for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,787.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion The Marine Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Dreadnought off the Fastnet' von Barry Mason zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.805,00 (€ 3.267,79) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Barry Mason mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The extreme clipper Leander bowling along in the trade winds beobachtet, die im Mai 2010 für GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.787,29) versteigert wurde.
