Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September 2005 Christies in London held the auction Travel and Natural History, which included the work Views of India' including; Sultanganj; Chunarghur (illustrated); and Hindu temple by Edward Hawke Locker. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 2,040.00 (€ 2,993.85). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Hawke Locker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Views of southern India including; St. Thomé Chapel, Madras; View on the road from St. Thomé Chapel to Brodie Castle; and Muslim buildings near Madras (illustrated), which sold at auction in September 2000 for GBP 5,875.00 (€ 9,830.67).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel and Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit Views of India' including; Sultanganj; Chunarghur (illustrated); and Hindu temple von Edward Hawke Locker zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 2.040,00 (€ 2.993,85) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Hawke Locker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Views of southern India including; St. Thomé Chapel, Madras; View on the road from St. Thomé Chapel to Brodie Castle; and Muslim buildings near Madras (illustrated) beobachtet, die im September 2000 für GBP 5.875,00 (€ 9.830,67) versteigert wurde.
