Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In August 2006 Christies in London held the auction British, Continental and Russian Pictures, which included the work Petty Officer Wallace; Polish Naval Officer Joseph Babpiewiez; Sergeant F.S. Rogers, an Australian volunteer; A Yugoslav internee in a German concentration camp; A Yugoslav girl; Major John Lacey, U.S. Air Corps; An Eighth Army Parachute Officer; Sir by Sam Morse Brown. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,925.85). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sam Morse Brown - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The crucifixion of humanity, which sold at auction in August 2006 for GBP 5,400.00 (€ 8,030.14).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im August 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British, Continental and Russian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Petty Officer Wallace; Polish Naval Officer Joseph Babpiewiez; Sergeant F.S. Rogers, an Australian volunteer; A Yugoslav internee in a German concentration camp; A Yugoslav girl; Major John Lacey, U.S. Air Corps; An Eighth Army Parachute Officer; Sir von Sam Morse Brown zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 2.500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 2.640,00 (€ 3.925,85) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Sam Morse Brown mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The crucifixion of humanity beobachtet, die im August 2006 für GBP 5.400,00 (€ 8.030,14) versteigert wurde.
