A top price for Christopher Dresser
When the work A LARGE FOUR-HANDLED VASE, CIRCA 1895 by Christopher Dresser was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at USD 20,000.00 (€ 16,930.50). This high result makes A LARGE FOUR-HANDLED VASE, CIRCA 1895 the most expensive artwork by Christopher Dresser that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Christopher Dresser
Als die Arbeit A LARGE FOUR-HANDLED VASE, CIRCA 1895 von Christopher Dresser im September 2017 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 20.000,00 (€ 16.930,50) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A LARGE FOUR-HANDLED VASE, CIRCA 1895 zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Christopher Dresser, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
