Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Brood Mares And Foals by George Stubbs was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000,000.00 – 15,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 10,121,250.00 (€ 11,740,619.49) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Stubbs - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad, which sold at auction in July 2011 for GBP 22,441,250.00 (€ 25,754,691.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Brood Mares And Foals von George Stubbs wurde im Dezember 2010 in der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000.000,00 – 15.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 10.121.250,00 (€ 11.740.619,49) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von George Stubbs mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad beobachtet, die im Juli 2011 für GBP 22.441.250,00 (€ 25.754.691,64) versteigert wurde.
