Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2004 Christies in London held the auction Victorian Pictures including The John H. Schaeffer, which included the work Cow tending by James Clarke Hook. The price achieved of GBP 17,925.00 (€ 26,677.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Clarke Hook - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Gull Catcher, which sold at auction in February 2003 for GBP 38,240.00 (€ 55,829.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian Pictures including The John H. Schaeffer durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cow tending von James Clarke Hook zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 17.925,00 (€ 26.677,77) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von James Clarke Hook mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Gull Catcher beobachtet, die im Februar 2003 für GBP 38.240,00 (€ 55.829,19) versteigert wurde.
