A top price for Edward Wesson
When the work Thames barges racing on the estuary by Edward Wesson was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 400.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at GBP 3,240.00 (€ 4,702.68). This high result makes Thames barges racing on the estuary the most expensive artwork by Edward Wesson that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Edward Wesson
Als die Arbeit Thames barges racing on the estuary von Edward Wesson im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 400,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.240,00 (€ 4.702,68) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Thames barges racing on the estuary zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Edward Wesson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
