Children dancing at dusk

16 x 21 in. (40.7 x 53.4 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 79 %.

This artwork by George Russell achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2002. In the The Irish Sale auction, the work Children dancing at dusk sold for GBP 14,340.00 (€ 22,456.63) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Russell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ring-a-ring-a-roses, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 42,300.00 (€ 67,875.90).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von George Russell erzielte im Mai 2002 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Irish Sale wurde die Arbeit Children dancing at dusk für GBP 14.340,00 (€ 22.456,63) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Russell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ring-a-ring-a-roses beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für GBP 42.300,00 (€ 67.875,90) versteigert wurde.
