A top price for George Moutard Woodward

When the work Ut Lubet by George Moutard Woodward was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 400.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,151.49). This high result makes Ut Lubet the most expensive artwork by George Moutard Woodward that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für George Moutard Woodward

Als die Arbeit Ut Lubet von George Moutard Woodward im Oktober 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 400,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.440,00 (€ 2.151,49) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Ut Lubet zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von George Moutard Woodward, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
