A top price for Edward Clifford - as previously expected
The work The Forge of Cupid by Edward Clifford was sold in the Victorian Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in July 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 35,038.12) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Forge of Cupid is the most expensive artwork by Edward Clifford that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The Forge of Cupid von Edward Clifford wurde im Juli 2018 in der Auktion Victorian Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 31.250,00 (€ 35.038,12) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Forge of Cupid das teuerste Kunstwerk von Edward Clifford, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
