The Expulsion From Eden

Found at Christies, London

22. Mar - 22. Mar 2006
Estimate: 600 - 800 GBP
Price realised: 6.600 GBP
Ford Madox Brown (1821-1893)
The expulsion from Eden
with inscription '.. for Glass.. Expulsion from Eden....Ford Madox Brown' (on the frame)
pencil and grey wash, on buff paper, in orginal William Morris frame
38½ x 20¼ in. (97.8 x 51.4 cm.)

Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price

When the work The Expulsion From Eden by Ford Madox Brown was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at GBP 6,600.00 (€ 9,456.61). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ford Madox Brown achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Last Of England in November 2004 with an auction result of GBP 206,850.00 (€ 297,552.61).

Kunstwerk zum Achtfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The Expulsion From Eden von Ford Madox Brown im März 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.600,00 (€ 9.456,61) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ford Madox Brown erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Last Of England im November 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 206.850,00 (€ 297.552,61).
