This artwork by Derek George Montague Gardner achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May this year. In the Three Private Collections: Belgravia, Berkshire and Guernsey auction, the work A Bold Manoeuvre: H.M. Frigate 'Brilliant', 28 guns, engaging the French Frigates 'Regeneree', 40 guns, and 'Vertu', 36 guns in the Bay of Santa Cruz, Tenerife sold for GBP 22,680.00 (€ 26,388.33) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Derek George Montague Gardner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The 'Glorious First of June', 1794, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 50,900.00 (€ 73,095.75).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
