Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2004 a collector was able to acquire the work The snow Mary running past an offshore island under full sail by William Griffin of Hull for GBP 2,987.50 (€ 4,482.35). This price was achieved in the auction Maritime Pictures at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Griffin of Hull - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Merchant shipping and a Mediterranean pinke in close quarters off Gibraltar, which sold at auction in November 2003 for GBP 9,400.00 (€ 13,493.84).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai 2004 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The snow Mary running past an offshore island under full sail von William Griffin of Hull für GBP 2.987,50 (€ 4.482,35) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Maritime Pictures bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Griffin of Hull mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Merchant shipping and a Mediterranean pinke in close quarters off Gibraltar beobachtet, die im November 2003 für GBP 9.400,00 (€ 13.493,84) versteigert wurde.
