'Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray'
signed with monogram (lower right) and inscribed '2/"Oft had I heard of Lucy Gray/And when I crossed the wild,/I chanced to see at break of day/The solitary child./No mate, no comrade Lucy knew;/She dwelt on a wide moor/-The sweetest thing that ever grew/Beside a human door!"/Wordsworth/Constance Phillott/25g Stanhope Street/N.W.'

A top price for Constance Phillott - as previously expected

The work 'Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray' by Constance Phillott was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2009. The auction ended at the price of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,283.11), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, 'Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray' is the most expensive artwork by Constance Phillott that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit 'Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray' von Constance Phillott kam im November 2009 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.283,11) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist 'Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray' das teuerste Kunstwerk von Constance Phillott, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
