Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2007 Christies in London held the auction Maritime, which included the work Britannia racing to leeward of the P. & O. liner Strathaird and the Federal Steam Navigation Company's Rotorua by John J. Holmes. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,925.36). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John J. Holmes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Astra, Candida and Shamrock (V) racing off Cowes, 1934, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 2,880.00 (€ 4,238.11).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime durch, in der auch die Arbeit Britannia racing to leeward of the P. & O. liner Strathaird and the Federal Steam Navigation Company's Rotorua von John J. Holmes zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.925,36) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von John J. Holmes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Astra, Candida and Shamrock (V) racing off Cowes, 1934 beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für GBP 2.880,00 (€ 4.238,11) versteigert wurde.
