Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Lulworth and Britannia racing off the Royal Yacht Squadron by Richard M. Firth was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 22,500.00 (€ 16,164.95) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard M. Firth - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vigilant and Valkyrie II racing off Rhode Island, 1893, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 55,000.00 (€ 37,059.50).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Lulworth and Britannia racing off the Royal Yacht Squadron von Richard M. Firth kam im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 22.500,00 (€ 16.164,95) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Richard M. Firth mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Vigilant and Valkyrie II racing off Rhode Island, 1893 beobachtet, die im Januar 2008 für USD 55.000,00 (€ 37.059,50) versteigert wurde.
