Auction result misses estimated price range
In March 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Cottages by a river by Benjamin Barker of Bath for GBP 126.00 (€ 148.02). This price was achieved in the auction Quality in Detail. The Juli and Andrew Wieg Collection at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benjamin Barker of Bath achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A wooded landscape with figures on a track, a bridge beyond in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,787.23).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im März 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Cottages by a river von Benjamin Barker of Bath für GBP 126,00 (€ 148,02) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Quality in Detail. The Juli and Andrew Wieg Collection bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Benjamin Barker of Bath erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A wooded landscape with figures on a track, a bridge beyond im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.787,23).
