Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2016 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art, which included the work Grazing sheep, summer by Alfred East. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,564.65), 20% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Alfred East have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Amberley Bridge in December 2007 with an auction result of GBP 18,500.00 (€ 25,138.36).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Grazing sheep, summer von Alfred East zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.564,65) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alfred East auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Amberley Bridge im Dezember 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.500,00 (€ 25.138,36).
