Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2003 Christies in London held the auction Maritime, which included the work Knight of Malta in Grand Harbour, Valetta; and P. & O. passenger liners lying in Grand Harbour, Valetta by Frank Vining Smith. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 7,050.00 (€ 9,822.42). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frank Vining Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Grand Banks fishing schooner, which sold at auction in January 2007 for USD 26,400.00 (€ 20,310.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime durch, in der auch die Arbeit Knight of Malta in Grand Harbour, Valetta; and P. & O. passenger liners lying in Grand Harbour, Valetta von Frank Vining Smith zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 7.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 7.050,00 (€ 9.822,42) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Frank Vining Smith mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Grand Banks fishing schooner beobachtet, die im Januar 2007 für USD 26.400,00 (€ 20.310,82) versteigert wurde.
