The work View of Coniston Water, Cumbria, With Figures And A Farm-Cart In The Foreground by Francis Wheatley was sold in the British Art on Paper auction at Christies in London in June 2007. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,400.00 (€ 16,917.03), 43% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Wheatley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Equestrian portrait of Sir Henry Pigot (1750-1840) in December 2000 with an auction result of USD 369,000.00 (€ 393,054.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit View of Coniston Water, Cumbria, With Figures And A Farm-Cart In The Foreground von Francis Wheatley wurde im Juni 2007 in der Auktion British Art on Paper bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.400,00 (€ 16.917,03) und damit 43% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Wheatley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Equestrian portrait of Sir Henry Pigot (1750-1840) im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 369.000,00 (€ 393.054,96).
