Victorian Pictures including The John H. Schaeffer, Lot 166
11. Jun - 11. Jun 2004
Estimate: 15.000 - 20.000 GBP
Price realised: 31.070 GBP
James Clark Hook, R.A. (1819-1907)
Olivia and Viola
signed and inscribed 'Painted by J.C.Hook A.R.A.' (on the reverse)
oil on panel
23¾ x 29¼ in. (60.4 x 74.3 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 55 %.

In June 2004 Christies in London held the auction Victorian Pictures including The John H. Schaeffer, which included the work Olivia and Viola by James Clarke Hook. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 31,070.00 (€ 46,241.47), 55% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by James Clarke Hook; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Gull Catcher sold at auction in February 2003 with the realized price of GBP 38,240.00 (€ 55,829.19).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 55 % übertroffen

Im Juni 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian Pictures including The John H. Schaeffer durch, in der auch die Arbeit Olivia and Viola von James Clarke Hook zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 31.070,00 (€ 46.241,47) und damit 55% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von James Clarke Hook; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit The Gull Catcher im Februar 2003 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 38.240,00 (€ 55.829,19).
