A top price for John Frederick Herring Senior - as previously expected

The work The Start for the Derby, 1834 by John Frederick Herring Senior was sold in the Sporting Art auction at Christies in London in May 2005. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,105,600.00 (€ 1,632,212.62) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Start for the Derby, 1834 is the most expensive artwork by John Frederick Herring Senior that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit The Start for the Derby, 1834 von John Frederick Herring Senior wurde im Mai 2005 in der Auktion Sporting Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.105.600,00 (€ 1.632.212,62) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Start for the Derby, 1834 das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Frederick Herring Senior, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
