Despite a disappointment, a good price for John Ferneley, Sen.
When the work Silver firs at Osberton by John Ferneley, Sen. was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 700,000.00 – 1,000,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 692,000.00 (€ 1,018,324.83). Despite this disappointing result, Silver firs at Osberton is the most expensive artwork by John Ferneley, Sen. that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für John Ferneley, Sen.
Als die Arbeit Silver firs at Osberton von John Ferneley, Sen. im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700.000,00 – 1.000.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 692.000,00 (€ 1.018.324,83) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Silver firs at Osberton das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Ferneley, Sen., das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
