Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Near Mapledurham; and Near Streatley-on-Thames by John Horace Hooper was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,574.29). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Horace Hooper - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Moment'S Contemplation, which sold at auction in November 2005 for GBP 4,200.00 (€ 6,170.33).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Near Mapledurham; and Near Streatley-on-Thames von John Horace Hooper im Oktober 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.762,50 (€ 2.574,29) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von John Horace Hooper mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Moment'S Contemplation beobachtet, die im November 2005 für GBP 4.200,00 (€ 6.170,33) versteigert wurde.
