Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work A two-masted racing schooner settling on the tide off the Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes by Haughton Forrest was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 27,500.00 (€ 32,862.46). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Haughton Forrest; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Top Sail Schooner And Sailing Yacht sold at auction in March 2005 with the realized price of AUD 65,725.00 (€ 40,238.76).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A two-masted racing schooner settling on the tide off the Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes von Haughton Forrest im November 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 27.500,00 (€ 32.862,46) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Haughton Forrest; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Top Sail Schooner And Sailing Yacht im März 2005 mit dem Hammerpreis von AUD 65.725,00 (€ 40.238,76).
