Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Sleeping Cheetah (Taylor 8) by George Stubbs was sold in the Prints & Multiples auction at Sothebys in London in September 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,763.90) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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

Die Arbeit A Sleeping Cheetah (Taylor 8) von George Stubbs wurde im September 2016 in der Auktion Prints & Multiples bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.250,00 (€ 3.763,90) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
