A top price for Bernard Benedict Hemy
In November 2008 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work A busy day on the Tyne (illustrated); and Working tugs on the river by Bernard Benedict Hemy. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,813.61), 25% above the upper estimate. With this result, A busy day on the Tyne (illustrated); and Working tugs on the river is even the most expensive work of art by Bernard Benedict Hemy that we have observed at auctions so far.
