Description

Joseph William Carey (1859-1937)
The Gobbins Cliffs, Belfast
signed and dated 'J.W. Carey 1919' (lower left) and inscribed 'Gobbins. Belfast' (lower right)
pencil, watercolour and bodycolour
8 x 20½ in. (20.3 x 52.1 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Gobbins Cliffs, Belfast by Joseph William Carey was sold in the The Irish Sale auction at Christies in London in May 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 875.00 (€ 1,113.04) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Joseph William Carey have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Theta; a yacht, racing in Belfast Lough in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 4,700.00 (€ 7,541.77).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Gobbins Cliffs, Belfast von Joseph William Carey wurde im Mai 2008 in der Auktion The Irish Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 875,00 (€ 1.113,04) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joseph William Carey auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Theta; a yacht, racing in Belfast Lough im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.700,00 (€ 7.541,77).
