A top price for Samuel Walters
When the work The Confederate blockade runner C.S.S COLONEL LAMB at sea by Samuel Walters was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 77,675.00 (€ 62,434.69). This high result makes The Confederate blockade runner C.S.S COLONEL LAMB at sea the most expensive artwork by Samuel Walters that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Samuel Walters
Als die Arbeit The Confederate blockade runner C.S.S COLONEL LAMB at sea von Samuel Walters im Februar 2004 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 77.675,00 (€ 62.434,69) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Confederate blockade runner C.S.S COLONEL LAMB at sea zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Samuel Walters, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
