A top price for Henry Bishop
When the work Bridge before the Salute, Venice by Henry Bishop was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 5,170.00 (€ 7,551.26). This high result makes Bridge before the Salute, Venice the most expensive artwork by Henry Bishop that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Henry Bishop
Als die Arbeit Bridge before the Salute, Venice von Henry Bishop im Oktober 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.170,00 (€ 7.551,26) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Bridge before the Salute, Venice zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Henry Bishop, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
