Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Keys by Edmund Blair Leighton was sold in the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in July 2017. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 35,000.00 (€ 39,054.63), 17% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edmund Blair Leighton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work God Speed in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 707,750.00 (€ 1,121,870.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Keys von Edmund Blair Leighton wurde im Juli 2017 in der Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 35.000,00 (€ 39.054,63) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edmund Blair Leighton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit God Speed im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 707.750,00 (€ 1.121.870,87).
