Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2010 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work Coastal craft off Gibraltar by Sophia Dunbar. It changed hands for a price of GBP 562.50 (€ 659.05) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sophia Dunbar - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two views of Genoa, Italy, which sold at auction in September 2002 for GBP 1,527.50 (€ 2,427.55).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Coastal craft off Gibraltar von Sophia Dunbar zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 562,50 (€ 659,05) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Sophia Dunbar mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Two views of Genoa, Italy beobachtet, die im September 2002 für GBP 1.527,50 (€ 2.427,55) versteigert wurde.
