A top price for Ford Madox Brown - as previously expected

In November 2004 Christies in London held the auction Important British Art, which included the work The Last Of England by Ford Madox Brown. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 206,850.00 (€ 297,552.61) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Last Of England is the most expensive artwork by Ford Madox Brown that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im November 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Last Of England von Ford Madox Brown zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 206.850,00 (€ 297.552,61) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Last Of England das teuerste Kunstwerk von Ford Madox Brown, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
