Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Mr. and Mrs. George Vincent: he facing right in black coat and waistcoat; sky background; she, in high-necked white dress, her dark hair dressed in curls; sky background by Frederick Buck was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,629.00 (€ 3,783.85). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Frederick Buck; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A young lady, facing right in ruffle bordered white silk dress, yellow sash, blue hat with yellow ribbon in her long curling brown hair sold at auction in June 2003 with the realized price of GBP 2,987.50 (€ 4,293.20).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mr. and Mrs. George Vincent: he facing right in black coat and waistcoat; sky background; she, in high-necked white dress, her dark hair dressed in curls; sky background von Frederick Buck im Oktober 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.629,00 (€ 3.783,85) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Frederick Buck; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit A young lady, facing right in ruffle bordered white silk dress, yellow sash, blue hat with yellow ribbon in her long curling brown hair im Juni 2003 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 2.987,50 (€ 4.293,20).
