Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2005 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work Duke of Marlborough At Blenheim, 1704 by John Spencer Churchill. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 600.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 660.00 (€ 974.37). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Spencer Churchill - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Sir Winston Churchill, which sold at auction in March 2003 for GBP 2,585.00 (€ 3,744.69).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Duke of Marlborough At Blenheim, 1704 von John Spencer Churchill zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 660,00 (€ 974,37) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von John Spencer Churchill mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Sir Winston Churchill beobachtet, die im März 2003 für GBP 2.585,00 (€ 3.744,69) versteigert wurde.
