A top price for Edith Hume - as previously expected
In November 2000 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work The Dutch fisherman's family awaiting the return of the fleet by Edith Hume. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,170.00 (€ 8,450.16) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Dutch fisherman's family awaiting the return of the fleet is the most expensive artwork by Edith Hume that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Dutch fisherman's family awaiting the return of the fleet von Edith Hume zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.170,00 (€ 8.450,16) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Dutch fisherman's family awaiting the return of the fleet das teuerste Kunstwerk von Edith Hume, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
