Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Mount Edgcumbe, Cornwall by Francis Towne was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2011. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,780.18). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Towne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lake Of Albano, Morning Sun Rising Over Rocca Del Papa in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 289,250.00 (€ 347,790.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Mount Edgcumbe, Cornwall von Francis Towne kam im Juli 2011 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 15.780,18) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Towne erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lake Of Albano, Morning Sun Rising Over Rocca Del Papa im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 289.250,00 (€ 347.790,53).
