Despite a disappointment, a good price for Joseph Farington
In November 2003 a collector was able to acquire the work The gatehouse on the bridge over the River Severn at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, with the church of St. Leonard beyond by Joseph Farington for GBP 14,340.00 (€ 20,585.28). This price was achieved in the auction British Pictures 1500-1850 at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, The gatehouse on the bridge over the River Severn at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, with the church of St. Leonard beyond is the most expensive artwork by Joseph Farington that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Joseph Farington
Im November 2003 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The gatehouse on the bridge over the River Severn at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, with the church of St. Leonard beyond von Joseph Farington für GBP 14.340,00 (€ 20.585,28) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The gatehouse on the bridge over the River Severn at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, with the church of St. Leonard beyond das teuerste Kunstwerk von Joseph Farington, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
