Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work British Breaking Cover & Full Cry (Two Works) by Henry Alken for USD 11,875.00 (€ 8,531.50). This price was achieved in the auction The Sporting Sale: Equestrian, Wildlife & Maritime Art at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Henry Alken have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work British Start For The Derby, 1847; And Cossack Winning The Derby, 1847 (Two Works) in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 80,500.00 (€ 57,834.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit British Breaking Cover & Full Cry (Two Works) von Henry Alken für USD 11.875,00 (€ 8.531,50) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Sporting Sale: Equestrian, Wildlife & Maritime Art bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henry Alken auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit British Start For The Derby, 1847; And Cossack Winning The Derby, 1847 (Two Works) im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 80.500,00 (€ 57.834,61).
