Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'The Modern Explorer' by George Edward Marston was sold in the Exploration and Travel auction at Christies in London in September 2008. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,212.70) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Edward Marston achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work S.Y. Endurance Trapped In The Ice In The Weddell Sea in September 2004 with an auction result of GBP 33,460.00 (€ 48,746.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 'The Modern Explorer' von George Edward Marston wurde im September 2008 in der Auktion Exploration and Travel bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.212,70) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Edward Marston erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit S.Y. Endurance Trapped In The Ice In The Weddell Sea im September 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 33.460,00 (€ 48.746,99).
