Despite a disappointment, a good price for John Leech
When the work Mr Briggs Taming A Colt Which He Has Bred Himself by John Leech was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 4,500.00 (€ 5,440.84). Despite this disappointing result, Mr Briggs Taming A Colt Which He Has Bred Himself is the most expensive artwork by John Leech that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für John Leech
Als die Arbeit Mr Briggs Taming A Colt Which He Has Bred Himself von John Leech im November 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 4.500,00 (€ 5.440,84) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Mr Briggs Taming A Colt Which He Has Bred Himself das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Leech, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
