A top price for Francis Upritchard - as previously expected
In June 2018 Christies in London held the auction Handpicked: 50 Works Selected by the Saatchi Gallery, which included the work The Misanthrope by Francis Upritchard. The price achieved of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,952.56) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Misanthrope is the most expensive artwork by Francis Upritchard that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Handpicked: 50 Works Selected by the Saatchi Gallery durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Misanthrope von Francis Upritchard zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.952,56) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Misanthrope das teuerste Kunstwerk von Francis Upritchard, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
