A top price for Charles Halkerston Woolford - as previously expected
In March 2003 Christies in London held the auction British, Victorian and Scottish Pictures, which included the work The crescent moon by Charles Halkerston Woolford. The price achieved of GBP 528.75 (€ 765.96) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The crescent moon is the most expensive artwork by Charles Halkerston Woolford that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im März 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British, Victorian and Scottish Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The crescent moon von Charles Halkerston Woolford zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 528,75 (€ 765,96) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The crescent moon das teuerste Kunstwerk von Charles Halkerston Woolford, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
