A top price for Fred Enock
When the work The Willow Saw Fly: nineteen diagrams showing the anatomy, habits of saw flies and their larvae by Fred Enock was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 11,250.00 (€ 12,669.44). This high result makes The Willow Saw Fly: nineteen diagrams showing the anatomy, habits of saw flies and their larvae the most expensive artwork by Fred Enock that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit The Willow Saw Fly: nineteen diagrams showing the anatomy, habits of saw flies and their larvae von Fred Enock im April 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 11.250,00 (€ 12.669,44) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Willow Saw Fly: nineteen diagrams showing the anatomy, habits of saw flies and their larvae zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Fred Enock, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
