Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Princess of Wales Stakes 1896 by W. V. Longe was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 329.00 (€ 523.54) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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
Die Arbeit The Princess of Wales Stakes 1896 von W. V. Longe kam im November 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 329,00 (€ 523,54) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
