Despite a disappointment, a good price for Henry Charles Brewer
When the work A view of the Thames taken from the top of Tower Bridge by Henry Charles Brewer was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,705.58). Despite this disappointing result, A view of the Thames taken from the top of Tower Bridge is the most expensive artwork by Henry Charles Brewer that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Henry Charles Brewer
Als die Arbeit A view of the Thames taken from the top of Tower Bridge von Henry Charles Brewer im September 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.705,58) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist A view of the Thames taken from the top of Tower Bridge das teuerste Kunstwerk von Henry Charles Brewer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
