Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Two yachts in full sail, possibly off Cumbrae by Martyn Richardson Mackrill was auctioned at Bonhams in London in April last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 8,925.00 (€ 10,642.75). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martyn Richardson Mackrill - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Valkyrie (III) leading His Majesty's yacht Britannia off Hunter's Quay, during the Clyde Regatta, 1895, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 26,290.00 (€ 39,444.68).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Two yachts in full sail, possibly off Cumbrae von Martyn Richardson Mackrill im April letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 8.925,00 (€ 10.642,75) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Martyn Richardson Mackrill mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Valkyrie (III) leading His Majesty's yacht Britannia off Hunter's Quay, during the Clyde Regatta, 1895 beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für GBP 26.290,00 (€ 39.444,68) versteigert wurde.
