This artwork by Joseph Cartwright achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2003. In the British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book auction, the work Waterfall At The Source Of The Cocytus, Near Parga sold for GBP 1,116.25 (€ 1,581.02) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Cartwright achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Views In The Ionian Islands: The Town, Citadel, And The Harbour Of Corfu, From The Island Of Vido.Town; The Sanita, Or Health Office, At Santa Maura; View Of The Town And Harbour Of Vathi, In Ithaca; And The Piazza Of Saint Mark, In Zante in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 84,401.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 86 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joseph Cartwright erzielte im Dezember 2003 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book wurde die Arbeit Waterfall At The Source Of The Cocytus, Near Parga für GBP 1.116,25 (€ 1.581,02) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Cartwright erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Views In The Ionian Islands: The Town, Citadel, And The Harbour Of Corfu, From The Island Of Vido.Town; The Sanita, Or Health Office, At Santa Maura; View Of The Town And Harbour Of Vathi, In Ithaca; And The Piazza Of Saint Mark, In Zante im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 84.401,51).
