BARGAIN FOR ALL BUT…
AT NEWMARKET
DO YOU REALLY HAVE 40,000 POUNDS TO BUY THE BARGAIN OF MUNNINGS?
SIR ALFRED MUNNINGS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A TOP 20TH CENTURY BRITISH ARTIST. HIS ART HAS ALREADY SOLD FOR MILLIONS AND ANY WORK OF HIS IS POPULAR WITH COLLECTORS.
LOT 68 AT BONHMAS EUROPEAN SALE IN NEW YORK ON 30TH APRIL IS A GOOD HORSE RACING PAINTING THAT MERITS RESPECT AND IN OUR VIEW IS A BARGAIN AT THE ESTIMATED PRICE. OF COURSE IT MIGHT TAKE OFF IN THE SALEROOM AND WE BELIEVE IT SHOULD. WE SEE IT WORTH DOUBLE THE ESTIMATED PRICE AND IT WILL BE A SURPRISE IF IT SELLS AT 30,000 POUNDS, THE LOW ESTIMATE.
IT LOOKS WELL PAINTED, WELL PROVENANCED AND NO DOUBT MANY COLLECTORS WILL BE LOOKING TO ACQUIRE IT. WITH SOME LUCK IT MIGHT BE A BARGAIN TO ACQUIRE!!
IT WAS A BARGAIN BUT IT SOLD WELL ABOVE THE ESTIMATE!!
SOLD FOR 87,000 DOLLARS
IT SOLD FOR DOUBLE THE ESTIMATE AT ABOUT 70,000 POUNDS. NO HARM IN TRYING TO ACQUIRE IT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THEY OUTBID US THIS TIME ROUND!! MORE TO COME!!
