A top price for Wright Barker - as previously expected
In June 2001 Christies in New York held the auction Sporting Art, which included the work Two Couples Resting In A Kennel by Wright Barker. The price achieved of USD 127,000.00 (€ 149,870.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Two Couples Resting In A Kennel is the most expensive artwork by Wright Barker that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2001 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Sporting Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two Couples Resting In A Kennel von Wright Barker zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 127.000,00 (€ 149.870,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Two Couples Resting In A Kennel das teuerste Kunstwerk von Wright Barker, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
