The work Caedmon's awakening by Arthur Hughes was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2017. It achieved a price of GBP 47,500.00 (€ 53,002.71), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur Hughes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Birthday Picnic - Portraits of the children of William and Anne Pattinson of Felling, near Gateshead in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 380,650.00 (€ 555,736.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Caedmon's awakening von Arthur Hughes kam im Juli 2017 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 47.500,00 (€ 53.002,71) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 58%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arthur Hughes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Birthday Picnic - Portraits of the children of William and Anne Pattinson of Felling, near Gateshead im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 380.650,00 (€ 555.736,99).
