Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2002 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper including Original Book Illustrations, which included the work Fishing vessels leaving the harbour by John William Buxton Knight. The price achieved of GBP 470.00 (€ 726.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Admittedly, works by John William Buxton Knight have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A peaceful river landscape at sunset in September 2007 with an auction result of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 6,811.15).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper including Original Book Illustrations durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fishing vessels leaving the harbour von John William Buxton Knight zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 470,00 (€ 726,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John William Buxton Knight auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A peaceful river landscape at sunset im September 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 6.811,15).
