Auction result well in line with expectations

In June 2013 Christies in London held the auction Sporting and Wildlife Art, which included the work A Reluctant Playmate by Wright Barker. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,589.74) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wright Barker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Two Couples Resting In A Kennel in June 2001 with an auction result of USD 127,000.00 (€ 149,870.19).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juni 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Sporting and Wildlife Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Reluctant Playmate von Wright Barker zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.589,74) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wright Barker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Two Couples Resting In A Kennel im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 127.000,00 (€ 149.870,19).
