A top price for Fred Appleyard

When the work Moonrise and Memories by Fred Appleyard was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 41,125.00 (€ 65,990.46). This high result makes Moonrise and Memories the most expensive artwork by Fred Appleyard that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Fred Appleyard

Als die Arbeit Moonrise and Memories von Fred Appleyard im Mai 2000 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 41.125,00 (€ 65.990,46) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Moonrise and Memories zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Fred Appleyard, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
