Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Walter Crane could be acquired at Sothebys in London in November 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Victorian & Edwardian Art auction, the work Violet And Lily, The Daughters Of Edmund Routledge changed hands for GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,545.14) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter Crane achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Fate of Persephone that fair field Of Enna, where Proserpine, gathering flowers, Herself a fairer flower, by gloomy Dis Was gathered. (Paradise Lost, Book IV, lines 268-71) in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 424,650.00 (€ 656,837.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Walter Crane konnte im November 2011 bei Sothebys in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Victorian & Edwardian Art wechselte die Arbeit Violet And Lily, The Daughters Of Edmund Routledge für GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.545,14) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter Crane erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Fate of Persephone that fair field Of Enna, where Proserpine, gathering flowers, Herself a fairer flower, by gloomy Dis Was gathered. (Paradise Lost, Book IV, lines 268-71) im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 424.650,00 (€ 656.837,38).
