Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work A view of the Citadel, Corfu by Joseph Cartwright was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,300.30). Admittedly, works by Joseph Cartwright have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Views In The Ionian Islands: The Town, Citadel, And The Harbour Of Corfu, From The Island Of Vido.Town; The Sanita, Or Health Office, At Santa Maura; View Of The Town And Harbour Of Vathi, In Ithaca; And The Piazza Of Saint Mark, In Zante in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 84,401.51).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A view of the Citadel, Corfu von Joseph Cartwright im April 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.300,30) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joseph Cartwright auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Views In The Ionian Islands: The Town, Citadel, And The Harbour Of Corfu, From The Island Of Vido.Town; The Sanita, Or Health Office, At Santa Maura; View Of The Town And Harbour Of Vathi, In Ithaca; And The Piazza Of Saint Mark, In Zante im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 84.401,51).
