Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Honor and Hugh Vivian Smith by Alfred Munnings was sold in the British and European Art auction at Christies in New York in July this year. The price achieved of GBP 302,400.00 (€ 352,809.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. Admittedly, works by Alfred Munnings have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Gypsies Arriving at Epsom in December 2000 with an auction result of USD 3,031,000.00 (€ 3,228,589.69).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Honor and Hugh Vivian Smith von Alfred Munnings wurde im Juli diesen Jahres in der Auktion British and European Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 302.400,00 (€ 352.809,15) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alfred Munnings auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Gypsies Arriving at Epsom im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.031.000,00 (€ 3.228.589,69).
