In March 2017 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art, which included the work A ground sea by David James. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 32,500.00 (€ 38,086.79), 30% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David James - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cornish Rollers, which sold at auction in December 2017 for GBP 75,000.00 (€ 84,401.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 30 % übertroffen
Im März 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A ground sea von David James zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 38.086,79) und damit 30% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von David James mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cornish Rollers beobachtet, die im Dezember 2017 für GBP 75.000,00 (€ 84.401,51) versteigert wurde.
