A top price for Charles Williams
When the work View of Openshaw And Clayton From The Studio by Charles Williams was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,702.72). This high result makes View of Openshaw And Clayton From The Studio the most expensive artwork by Charles Williams that we have observed at auctions so far.

Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht View of Openshaw And Clayton From The Studio zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Charles Williams, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
