A top price for Samuel Henry Alken
When the work Start for the Derby; and Winning the Derby by Samuel Henry Alken was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 118,750.00 (€ 105,687.08). This high result makes Start for the Derby; and Winning the Derby the most expensive artwork by Samuel Henry Alken that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Samuel Henry Alken
Als die Arbeit Start for the Derby; and Winning the Derby von Samuel Henry Alken im Mai 2017 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 118.750,00 (€ 105.687,08) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Start for the Derby; and Winning the Derby zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Samuel Henry Alken, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
