Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Vigilant and Britannia in a fierce tussle off the Needles by Michael James Whitehand was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,091.25) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Michael James Whitehand have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ailsa and Britannia racing at the Royal Clyde Yacht Club Regatta in July 2004 with an auction result of USD 19,120.00 (€ 15,890.96).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Vigilant and Britannia in a fierce tussle off the Needles von Michael James Whitehand kam im November 2010 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.091,25) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Michael James Whitehand auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ailsa and Britannia racing at the Royal Clyde Yacht Club Regatta im Juli 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 19.120,00 (€ 15.890,96).
