Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
In December 2016 Christies in London held the auction Topographical Pictures, which included the work Fort Henry, Kingston – four views of the Barracks by Major Charles Frederick Gibson. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,691.62), 67% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Major Charles Frederick Gibson; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Seven views of Halifax, Nova Scotia sold at auction in December 2016 with the realized price of GBP 13,125.00 (€ 15,345.25).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Topographical Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fort Henry, Kingston – four views of the Barracks von Major Charles Frederick Gibson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.691,62) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Major Charles Frederick Gibson; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Seven views of Halifax, Nova Scotia im Dezember 2016 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 13.125,00 (€ 15.345,25).
