In March 2001 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work Partridges having a dust bath by Frank Southgate. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,527.50 (€ 2,464.77), 27% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frank Southgate - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Partridge Alighting On A Corn Field, which sold at auction in December 2017 for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,736.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 27 % übertroffen
Im März 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Partridges having a dust bath von Frank Southgate zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.527,50 (€ 2.464,77) und damit 27% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Frank Southgate mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Partridge Alighting On A Corn Field beobachtet, die im Dezember 2017 für GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.736,81) versteigert wurde.
