Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Mountain Spring by Henry Bright was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2000. 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 3,290.00 (€ 5,240.94) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Henry Bright have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Scene In The Scottish Highlands, Afternoon Effect in June 2006 with an auction result of GBP 20,400.00 (€ 29,518.46).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Mountain Spring von Henry Bright kam im Dezember 2000 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. 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 3.290,00 (€ 5.240,94) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henry Bright auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Scene In The Scottish Highlands, Afternoon Effect im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.400,00 (€ 29.518,46).
