Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
In December 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work Portrait Of Major Richard Bayly (D. 1764) by Joseph Wright of Derby. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 50,000.00 (€ 55,704.43), 67% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Wright of Derby achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Academy By Lamplight in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 7,263,700.00 (€ 8,174,230.35).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Major Richard Bayly (D. 1764) von Joseph Wright of Derby zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 50.000,00 (€ 55.704,43) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Wright of Derby erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Academy By Lamplight im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.263.700,00 (€ 8.174.230,35).
