Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A pier in choppy seas with figures in the foreground and sailing boats beyond, traditionally described as 'The old fish market at Brighton' by James Arthur O'Connor was sold in the British Pictures 1500-1850 auction at Christies in London in November 2001. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 11,162.50 (€ 17,763.05). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Arthur O'Connor - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Ford - A mountainous river landscape with a figure with a wagon and horses at a ford, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 33,460.00 (€ 50,202.32).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit A pier in choppy seas with figures in the foreground and sailing boats beyond, traditionally described as 'The old fish market at Brighton' von James Arthur O'Connor wurde im November 2001 in der Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 bei Christies in London versteigert.

Für andere Arbeiten von James Arthur O'Connor mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Ford - A mountainous river landscape with a figure with a wagon and horses at a ford beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für GBP 33.460,00 (€ 50.202,32) versteigert wurde.
