Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2016 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art, which included the work The London and Portsmouth coach near Guildford, Surrey; and The London and Exeter coach by George Wright. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,037.99). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Wright - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Casting About; And Gone To Earth, which sold at auction in June 2006 for GBP 12,000.00 (€ 17,363.80).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The London and Portsmouth coach near Guildford, Surrey; and The London and Exeter coach von George Wright zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 6.875,00 (€ 8.037,99) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von George Wright mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Casting About; And Gone To Earth beobachtet, die im Juni 2006 für GBP 12.000,00 (€ 17.363,80) versteigert wurde.
