A top price for Lilian Snelling - as previously expected
The work A Supplement to Elwes' Monograph of the Genus Lilium: Five Plates by Lilian Snelling was sold in the THE HOUSE SALE auction at Christies in New York in February 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 2,000.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 2,031.50 (€ 1,884.68) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Supplement to Elwes' Monograph of the Genus Lilium: Five Plates is the most expensive artwork by Lilian Snelling that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 2.031,50 (€ 1.884,68) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Supplement to Elwes' Monograph of the Genus Lilium: Five Plates das teuerste Kunstwerk von Lilian Snelling, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
