Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2016 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art, which included the work Vigilant and Valkyrie II on the windward leg, America's Cup, 1893 by Richard M. Firth. The price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,426.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by Richard M. Firth have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Vigilant and Valkyrie II racing off Rhode Island, 1893 in January 2008 with an auction result of USD 55,000.00 (€ 37,059.50).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Vigilant and Valkyrie II on the windward leg, America's Cup, 1893 von Richard M. Firth zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.426,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Richard M. Firth auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Vigilant and Valkyrie II racing off Rhode Island, 1893 im Januar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 55.000,00 (€ 37.059,50).
