A top price for George Stubbs - as previously expected

The work Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad by George Stubbs was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings - Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in July 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000,000.00 – 30,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 22,441,250.00 (€ 25,754,691.64) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad is the most expensive artwork by George Stubbs that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad das teuerste Kunstwerk von George Stubbs, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
