Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2004 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work Two Views Of Bruges, Belgium by Joseph Farington. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,629.00 (€ 3,781.80) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Joseph Farington have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The gatehouse on the bridge over the River Severn at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, with the church of St. Leonard beyond in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 14,340.00 (€ 20,585.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two Views Of Bruges, Belgium von Joseph Farington zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.629,00 (€ 3.781,80) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joseph Farington auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The gatehouse on the bridge over the River Severn at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, with the church of St. Leonard beyond im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.340,00 (€ 20.585,28).
