C. Kensington, 19th/20th Century
The steamer Heriri in Mediterranean waters
oil on canvas
19¼ x 34½ in. (48.9 x 87.6 cm.)

A top price for C. Kensington - as previously expected

In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures), which included the work The steamer Heriri in Mediterranean waters by C. Kensington. The price achieved of GBP 720.00 (€ 1,059.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The steamer Heriri in Mediterranean waters is the most expensive artwork by C. Kensington that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures) durch, in der auch die Arbeit The steamer Heriri in Mediterranean waters von C. Kensington zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 720,00 (€ 1.059,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The steamer Heriri in Mediterranean waters das teuerste Kunstwerk von C. Kensington, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
