A top price for William Griffin of Hull - as previously expected
In November 2003 Christies in London held the auction MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES, which included the work Merchant shipping and a Mediterranean pinke in close quarters off Gibraltar by William Griffin of Hull. The price achieved of GBP 9,400.00 (€ 13,493.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Merchant shipping and a Mediterranean pinke in close quarters off Gibraltar is the most expensive artwork by William Griffin of Hull that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion MARITIME AND NAVAL BATTLES durch, in der auch die Arbeit Merchant shipping and a Mediterranean pinke in close quarters off Gibraltar von William Griffin of Hull zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 9.400,00 (€ 13.493,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Merchant shipping and a Mediterranean pinke in close quarters off Gibraltar das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Griffin of Hull, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
