A top price for Latham Valentine Stewart Blacker - as previously expected
The work The Houston Westland Mount Everest Flight: 'Mount Everest with its snow plume.'; 'Makalu 27,790 feet.'; and 'Chamlang. Ten miles south of Everest.' by Latham Valentine Stewart Blacker was sold in the Exploration and Travel auction at Christies in London in September 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,625.00 (€ 8,065.84) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Houston Westland Mount Everest Flight: 'Mount Everest with its snow plume.'; 'Makalu 27,790 feet.'; and 'Chamlang. Ten miles south of Everest.' is the most expensive artwork by Latham Valentine Stewart Blacker that we have observed at auctions so far.

Die Arbeit The Houston Westland Mount Everest Flight: 'Mount Everest with its snow plume.'; 'Makalu 27,790 feet.'; and 'Chamlang. Ten miles south of Everest.' von Latham Valentine Stewart Blacker wurde im September 2007 in der Auktion Exploration and Travel bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.625,00 (€ 8.065,84) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Houston Westland Mount Everest Flight: 'Mount Everest with its snow plume.'; 'Makalu 27,790 feet.'; and 'Chamlang. Ten miles south of Everest.' das teuerste Kunstwerk von Latham Valentine Stewart Blacker, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
