In June 2004 Christies in London held the auction Sporting Art and Dogs, which included the work Bonnie Favourite (18253), a heavy horse by Fred Thurlby. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,151.00 (€ 3,201.33), 43% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fred Thurlby - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Stout, winner of 12 first and 8 second prizes at various shows; and Madam, winner of first prize at Viscount Tredegar's Show 1908, which sold at auction in June 2003 for GBP 8,225.00 (€ 11,819.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Sporting Art and Dogs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bonnie Favourite (18253), a heavy horse von Fred Thurlby zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.151,00 (€ 3.201,33) und damit 43% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Fred Thurlby mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Stout, winner of 12 first and 8 second prizes at various shows; and Madam, winner of first prize at Viscount Tredegar's Show 1908 beobachtet, die im Juni 2003 für GBP 8.225,00 (€ 11.819,77) versteigert wurde.
