Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In September 2005 Christies in London held the auction Travel and Natural History, which included the work The Ridge by Victor Coverley-Price. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 600.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 660.00 (€ 968.60). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Victor Coverley-Price - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Heart of the City; the Royal Exchange, which sold at auction in May 2002 for GBP 2,091.25 (€ 3,274.93).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im September 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel and Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Ridge von Victor Coverley-Price zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 660,00 (€ 968,60) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Victor Coverley-Price mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Heart of the City; the Royal Exchange beobachtet, die im Mai 2002 für GBP 2.091,25 (€ 3.274,93) versteigert wurde.
