Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2004 Christies in London held the auction MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES (PICTURES), which included the work The Queen Hove-To In Mid-Atlantic To Pick Up A Man Overboard by George Mears. The price achieved of GBP 1,195.00 (€ 1,719.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Mears - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Racing Cutter of The Royal Thames Yacht Club On An Upwind Leg (Illustrated); And On A Downwind Leg, which sold at auction in November 2006 for GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,920.48).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES (PICTURES) durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Queen Hove-To In Mid-Atlantic To Pick Up A Man Overboard von George Mears zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.195,00 (€ 1.719,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von George Mears mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Racing Cutter of The Royal Thames Yacht Club On An Upwind Leg (Illustrated); And On A Downwind Leg beobachtet, die im November 2006 für GBP 2.640,00 (€ 3.920,48) versteigert wurde.
