Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Pomona Britannica, or a Collection of the Most Esteemed Fruits at Present Cultivated in Great Britain: Eight Plates by George Brookshaw was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,434.00 (€ 1,367.67). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Brookshaw - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Four Handcolored Aquatints From: Pomonica Britannica, A Collection Of The Most Esteemed Fruits, which sold at auction in January 2001 for USD 4,935.00 (€ 5,301.89).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Pomona Britannica, or a Collection of the Most Esteemed Fruits at Present Cultivated in Great Britain: Eight Plates von George Brookshaw im Dezember 2002 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.434,00 (€ 1.367,67) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von George Brookshaw mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Four Handcolored Aquatints From: Pomonica Britannica, A Collection Of The Most Esteemed Fruits beobachtet, die im Januar 2001 für USD 4.935,00 (€ 5.301,89) versteigert wurde.
