Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A frigate at anchor amidst local craft, including a doble, on the Medway by George Webster was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,449.63) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Webster - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A thirty gun frigate of the blue squadron off Dover castle in choppy seas, which sold at auction in July 2006 for USD 45,600.00 (€ 35,725.48).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A frigate at anchor amidst local craft, including a doble, on the Medway von George Webster kam im Juni 2004 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.365,00 (€ 12.449,63) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von George Webster mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A thirty gun frigate of the blue squadron off Dover castle in choppy seas beobachtet, die im Juli 2006 für USD 45.600,00 (€ 35.725,48) versteigert wurde.
