Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2002 Christies in London held the auction Sporting Art and Dogs, which included the work The last fence by W. V. Longe. The price achieved of GBP 235.00 (€ 363.49) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200.00 – 300.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by W. V. Longe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Last Fence, The Grand National, 1902, which sold at auction in November 2005 for GBP 900.00 (€ 1,322.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion Sporting Art and Dogs durch, in der auch die Arbeit The last fence von W. V. Longe zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 235,00 (€ 363,49) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von W. V. Longe mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Last Fence, The Grand National, 1902 beobachtet, die im November 2005 für GBP 900,00 (€ 1.322,21) versteigert wurde.
