Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Night Riders at Nacton: The Start; First Jump: The Fall; and The Finish by Henry Alken was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2008. The price achieved of GBP 17,300.00 (€ 22,006.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry Alken - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work British Start For The Derby, 1847; And Cossack Winning The Derby, 1847 (Two Works), which sold at auction in December 2008 for USD 80,500.00 (€ 57,834.61).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Night Riders at Nacton: The Start; First Jump: The Fall; and The Finish von Henry Alken kam im Mai 2008 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 17.300,00 (€ 22.006,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Henry Alken mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit British Start For The Derby, 1847; And Cossack Winning The Derby, 1847 (Two Works) beobachtet, die im Dezember 2008 für USD 80.500,00 (€ 57.834,61) versteigert wurde.
