Despite a disappointment, a good price for George Lourens Kiers
This work of art by George Lourens Kiers could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Maritime Pictures auction, the work Preparing to set sail changed hands for GBP 2,987.50 (€ 4,482.35) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Preparing to set sail is the most expensive artwork by George Lourens Kiers that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für George Lourens Kiers
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Lourens Kiers konnte im Mai 2004 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Maritime Pictures wechselte die Arbeit Preparing to set sail für GBP 2.987,50 (€ 4.482,35) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Preparing to set sail das teuerste Kunstwerk von George Lourens Kiers, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
