Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Brookshaw could be acquired at Christies in New York in June 2002 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The House Sale auction, the work Pomona Britannica, or a Collection of the Most Esteemed Fruits at Present Cultivated in Great Britain: Six Plates changed hands for USD 1,434.00 (€ 1,454.95) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. 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
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Brookshaw konnte im Juni 2002 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The House Sale wechselte die Arbeit Pomona Britannica, or a Collection of the Most Esteemed Fruits at Present Cultivated in Great Britain: Six Plates für USD 1.434,00 (€ 1.454,95) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. 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.
