152. CHRISTIE’S MARITIME CATALOGUES
the impressive complete run of Christie’s (London) Maritime Auction catalogues, 1986-2012 inclusive, including the 2005 Trafalgar bicentenary sale, all mint state, as issued, with official price lists
(54)
Christie’s began their regular sales of maritime paintings, ship models and related marine ephemera in 1986 and these have continued to the present. Initially staged annually, a regular pattern of twice-yearly auctions was begun in 1990 and was soon regarded as an excellent indicator of market prices and trends. A complete run such as offered here - from the inaugural sale to date - must be considered rare and represents an unrivalled archive for any serious researcher or art historian.
£250-350 153.
MARITIME CATALOGUES
approximately 27 comprising Sotheby’s - 1988; 1991-2003; 2006 and 2007; five assorted Christie’s examples from South Kensington, Amsterdam and New York and six from Continental houses
(a lot) £50-80
154. ‘TRADITIONAL RIVER CRAFT’ AUCTION CATALOGUES
the complete run of Phillips’ (and, since 2002, Bonham’s) annual sale catalogues of ‘Traditional River Craft and Ephemera’, 1986- 2009 inclusive, held each year at Henley after the finish of the famous regatta, all mint state, as issued, with official price lists
(24)
This complete run of catalogues from the initial sale in 1986 to the final auction in 2009 is probably the only reliable source of river craft prices currently available to researchers. No other similar set has been seen in commerce and complete sets are undoubtedly extremely scarce.
