A top price for F. H. Stingemore
When the work The Boat Race by F. H. Stingemore was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,993.70). This high result makes The Boat Race the most expensive artwork by F. H. Stingemore that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für F. H. Stingemore
Als die Arbeit The Boat Race von F. H. Stingemore im Oktober 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.993,70) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Boat Race zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von F. H. Stingemore, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
