This artwork by George Horace Davis achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October 2014. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work The fighter aircraft of tomorrow: The Hawker vertical take-off and landing P-1127 - The design and methods of flying sold for GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,755.68) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Horace Davis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A vision of the future - An airport for helicopters in the heart of London: The proposed plan for a "helidrome" at Charing Cross diagrammatically explained (illustrated); and As it will be—London's new airport at Gatwick, which was to be opened by in October 2014 with an auction result of GBP 16,875.00 (€ 21
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Horace Davis erzielte im Oktober 2014 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit The fighter aircraft of tomorrow: The Hawker vertical take-off and landing P-1127 - The design and methods of flying für GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.755,68) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Horace Davis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A vision of the future - An airport for helicopters in the heart of London: The proposed plan for a "helidrome" at Charing Cross diagrammatically explained (illustrated); and As it will be—London's new airport at Gatwick, which was to be opened by im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.875,00 (€ 21.546,94).
