In November 2005 Christies in London held the auction MARITIME PICTURES, which included the work R.M.S. Aquitania Under Tug Escort Off St. Helen'S Fort In The Solent by John A. Stewart. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 960.00 (€ 1,410.36), 37% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John A. Stewart - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The S.S. Liberte and the S. S. Independence passing the Statue of Liberty, which sold at auction in June 2007 for USD 5,760.00 (€ 4,260.36).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 37 % übertroffen
Im November 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion MARITIME PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit R.M.S. Aquitania Under Tug Escort Off St. Helen'S Fort In The Solent von John A. Stewart zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 960,00 (€ 1.410,36) und damit 37% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von John A. Stewart mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The S.S. Liberte and the S. S. Independence passing the Statue of Liberty beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für USD 5.760,00 (€ 4.260,36) versteigert wurde.
