In June 2002 Christies in London held the auction Sporting Art and Dogs, which included the work A dappled grey and a terrier in a stable by Frank Babbage. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,292.50 (€ 1,999.20), 29% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frank Babbage - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bearwardcote Blaze, a prize-winning shire horse, which sold at auction in June 2003 for GBP 3,995.00 (€ 5,741.03).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 29 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion Sporting Art and Dogs durch, in der auch die Arbeit A dappled grey and a terrier in a stable von Frank Babbage zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.292,50 (€ 1.999,20) und damit 29% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Frank Babbage mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bearwardcote Blaze, a prize-winning shire horse beobachtet, die im Juni 2003 für GBP 3.995,00 (€ 5.741,03) versteigert wurde.
