John Moore of Ipswich (1820-1902)
Fishing vessels in a steady breeze off Harwich
signed 'J. Moore' (lower left)
oil on canvas
20 x 30 in. (50.8 x 76.3 cm.)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In June 2014 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work Fishing Vessels In A Steady Breeze Off Harwich by John Moore of Ipswich. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,373.08), 17% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Moore of Ipswich - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A trading brig in a heavy swell running down the coast, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 8,225.00 (€ 13,198.09).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Juni 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fishing Vessels In A Steady Breeze Off Harwich von John Moore of Ipswich zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.373,08) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von John Moore of Ipswich mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A trading brig in a heavy swell running down the coast beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für GBP 8.225,00 (€ 13.198,09) versteigert wurde.
