Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work Selim, A Grey Hunter In A Paddock by George Stubbs. It changed hands for a price of GBP 149,000.00 (€ 211,231.96) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. 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 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Selim, A Grey Hunter In A Paddock von George Stubbs zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 149.000,00 (€ 211.231,96) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00. 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).
