A top price for George Smith - as previously expected

The work Home - Be It Ever So Humble by George Smith was sold in the Victorian & Edwardian Art auction at Sothebys in London in July 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 54,000.00 (€ 80,202.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Home - Be It Ever So Humble is the most expensive artwork by George Smith that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Home - Be It Ever So Humble von George Smith wurde im Juli 2007 in der Auktion Victorian & Edwardian Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 54.000,00 (€ 80.202,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Home - Be It Ever So Humble das teuerste Kunstwerk von George Smith, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
