A top price for Fred Roe - as previously expected
In June 2014 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work The return of the victors, Waterloo Station by Fred Roe. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,618.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The return of the victors, Waterloo Station is the most expensive artwork by Fred Roe that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The return of the victors, Waterloo Station von Fred Roe zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.618,15) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The return of the victors, Waterloo Station das teuerste Kunstwerk von Fred Roe, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
