Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ashurbanipal And Assur-Sharratt At A Lion Hunt by John Alexander Harington Bird was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 10,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,470.91) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Alexander Harington Bird - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Arab horses in the desert, which sold at auction in June 2004 for GBP 13,145.00 (€ 19,563.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ashurbanipal And Assur-Sharratt At A Lion Hunt von John Alexander Harington Bird kam im September 2013 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.470,91) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Alexander Harington Bird mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Arab horses in the desert beobachtet, die im Juni 2004 für GBP 13.145,00 (€ 19.563,70) versteigert wurde.
