Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2013 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Blind man's buff: Illustration for the front cover of Kate Greenway's Book of Games, 1889 by Kate Greenaway. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,428.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Kate Greenaway have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Study of a young girl in a garden, a border of nasturtiums and other plants beyond in June 2004 with an auction result of GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,449.63).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Blind man's buff: Illustration for the front cover of Kate Greenway's Book of Games, 1889 von Kate Greenaway zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.428,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kate Greenaway auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Study of a young girl in a garden, a border of nasturtiums and other plants beyond im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.365,00 (€ 12.449,63).
