Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The battle of Terschelling, 1666 by John Michael Groves was sold in the Maritime Art auction at Christies in London in May 2011. The price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,429.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Michael Groves - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sketch for 'The Taking of the Minerva', which sold at auction in May 2011 for GBP 2,625.00 (€ 3,001.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The battle of Terschelling, 1666 von John Michael Groves wurde im Mai 2011 in der Auktion Maritime Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.429,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John Michael Groves mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sketch for 'The Taking of the Minerva' beobachtet, die im Mai 2011 für GBP 2.625,00 (€ 3.001,70) versteigert wurde.
