A top price for Henry James Holding - as previously expected

The work The logging wagon by Henry James Holding was sold in the Victorian Pictures including The John H. Schaeffer auction at Christies in London in June 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,962.50 (€ 13,338.88) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The logging wagon is the most expensive artwork by Henry James Holding that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit The logging wagon von Henry James Holding wurde im Juni 2004 in der Auktion Victorian Pictures including The John H. Schaeffer bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.962,50 (€ 13.338,88) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The logging wagon das teuerste Kunstwerk von Henry James Holding, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
