A top price for David Hall McKewan - as previously expected
In May 2001 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS, which included the work Harlech Castle, North Wales by David Hall McKewan. The price achieved of GBP 2,232.50 (€ 3,742.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Harlech Castle, North Wales is the most expensive artwork by David Hall McKewan that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Harlech Castle, North Wales von David Hall McKewan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.232,50 (€ 3.742,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Harlech Castle, North Wales das teuerste Kunstwerk von David Hall McKewan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
