Auction result well in line with expectations

In July last year Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Auction, which included the work Polyanthus, a favourite bay hunter, in a landscape by George Stubbs. The price achieved of GBP 504,000.00 (€ 601,865.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Stubbs achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad in July 2011 with an auction result of GBP 22,441,250.00 (€ 25,754,691.64).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juli letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Polyanthus, a favourite bay hunter, in a landscape von George Stubbs zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 504.000,00 (€ 601.865,52) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Stubbs erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad im Juli 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.441.250,00 (€ 25.754.691,64).
