A top price for W. Webb - as previously expected
In May 2005 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Paintings, which included the work A three-master hove-to and waiting for the pilot, in the Channel by W. Webb. The price achieved of GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,897.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A three-master hove-to and waiting for the pilot, in the Channel is the most expensive artwork by W. Webb that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A three-master hove-to and waiting for the pilot, in the Channel von W. Webb zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.640,00 (€ 3.897,47) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A three-master hove-to and waiting for the pilot, in the Channel das teuerste Kunstwerk von W. Webb, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
