Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Gathering flowers by Charles Wellington Furse was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 52,500.00 (€ 58,559.75). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Wellington Furse achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work With the York and Ainsty - The Children of Mr Edward Lycett Green, M.F.H. in November 2017 with an auction result of GBP 668,750.00 (€ 759,130.74).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Gathering flowers von Charles Wellington Furse im Juli 2020 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 52.500,00 (€ 58.559,75) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Wellington Furse erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit With the York and Ainsty - The Children of Mr Edward Lycett Green, M.F.H. im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 668.750,00 (€ 759.130,74).
