Auction result well in line with expectations
The work British Lord Falmouth'S Dutch Oven Winning The Doncaster St. Leger In 1882, Ridden By Fred Archer by Henry Alken was sold in the The Sporting Sale: Equestrian, Wildlife & Maritime Art auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 27,500.00 (€ 19,757.17) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 British Lord Falmouth'S Dutch Oven Winning The Doncaster St. Leger In 1882, Ridden By Fred Archer von Henry Alken wurde im Dezember 2008 in der Auktion The Sporting Sale: Equestrian, Wildlife & Maritime Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 27.500,00 (€ 19.757,17) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
