Auction result well in line with expectations
The work May Blossom, Berries And A Bird'S Nest With Eggs, On A Mossy Bank; And Apple Blossom And A Bird'S Nest With Eggs, On A Mossy Bank by George Clare was sold in the British and Victorian Pictures auction at Christies in London in March 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,814.27) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Clare - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Strawberries, apples, plums, and grapes in a wicker basket, on a mossy bank, which sold at auction in May 2002 for GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,120.36).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit May Blossom, Berries And A Bird'S Nest With Eggs, On A Mossy Bank; And Apple Blossom And A Bird'S Nest With Eggs, On A Mossy Bank von George Clare wurde im März 2006 in der Auktion British and Victorian Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.360,00 (€ 4.814,27) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von George Clare mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Strawberries, apples, plums, and grapes in a wicker basket, on a mossy bank beobachtet, die im Mai 2002 für GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.120,36) versteigert wurde.
