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 The fly-fisherman by Alfred East. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,683.72). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfred East - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Amberley Bridge, which sold at auction in December 2007 for 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 The fly-fisherman von Alfred East zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.683,72) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Alfred East mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Amberley Bridge beobachtet, die im Dezember 2007 für GBP 18.500,00 (€ 25.138,36) versteigert wurde.
