A top price for William James Blacklock - as previously expected

In June 2015 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work A Miller's Homestead by William James Blacklock. The price achieved of GBP 116,500.00 (€ 164,263.54) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Miller's Homestead is the most expensive artwork by William James Blacklock that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Juni 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Miller's Homestead von William James Blacklock zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 116.500,00 (€ 164.263,54) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Miller's Homestead das teuerste Kunstwerk von William James Blacklock, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
