Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Costume design for Luna Park: The three-legged juggler and the man with six arms by Christopher Wood was worth GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,814.06) to a buyer in April 2019. This price was achieved in the auction Modern | British & Irish Art at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christopher Wood achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Drying Sails, Mousehole, Cornwall in June last year with an auction result of GBP 479,100.00 (€ 556,577.92).

Die Arbeit Costume design for Luna Park: The three-legged juggler and the man with six arms von Christopher Wood war einem Käufer im April 2019 GBP 11.875,00 (€ 13.814,06) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Modern | British & Irish Art bei Christies in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Christopher Wood erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Drying Sails, Mousehole, Cornwall im Juni letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 479.100,00 (€ 556.577,92).
