Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Enoch by William Blake was sold in the Old Master Prints auction at Christies in London in December 2021. The price achieved of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 149,098.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Blake - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Gambols Of Ghosts According With Their Affections Previous To The Final Judgement, which sold at auction in January 2013 for USD 722,500.00 (€ 531,875.74).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Enoch von William Blake wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion Old Master Prints bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 149.098,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William Blake mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Gambols Of Ghosts According With Their Affections Previous To The Final Judgement beobachtet, die im Januar 2013 für USD 722.500,00 (€ 531.875,74) versteigert wurde.
