The work Cicely And Britannia Neck And Neck Off The Needles by John J. Holmes was sold in the Maritime Art auction at Christies in London in June 2013. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,042.56), 46% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John J. Holmes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Astra, Candida and Shamrock (V) racing off Cowes, 1934, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 2,880.00 (€ 4,238.11).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen

Holmes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Astra, Candida and Shamrock (V) racing off Cowes, 1934 beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für GBP 2.880,00 (€ 4.238,11) versteigert wurde.
