Despite a disappointment, a good price for Dudley Buxton
This work of art by Dudley Buxton could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book auction, the work "And you'll wear those pyjamas too - I'm not going to let the shopkeepers know I married a shrimp!" changed hands for GBP 179.25 (€ 253.69) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 200.00 – 400.00. Despite this disappointing result, "And you'll wear those pyjamas too - I'm not going to let the shopkeepers know I married a shrimp!" is the most expensive artwork by Dudley Buxton that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Dudley Buxton
Dieses Kunstwerk von Dudley Buxton konnte im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book wechselte die Arbeit "And you'll wear those pyjamas too - I'm not going to let the shopkeepers know I married a shrimp!" für GBP 179,25 (€ 253,69) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 200,00 – 400,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist "And you'll wear those pyjamas too - I'm not going to let the shopkeepers know I married a shrimp!" das teuerste Kunstwerk von Dudley Buxton, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
