This artwork by Henry John Stock achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2019. In the British & European Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction, the work The Poet's Dream: 'The Pursuit of the Ideal' sold for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 32,938.01) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry John Stock - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Uplifting of Psyche 'By the help of a divinity not our own' - Virgil, which sold at auction in June 2015 for GBP 56,250.00 (€ 79,311.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry John Stock erzielte im Juli 2019 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British & European Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art wurde die Arbeit The Poet's Dream: 'The Pursuit of the Ideal' für GBP 30.000,00 (€ 32.938,01) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Henry John Stock mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Uplifting of Psyche 'By the help of a divinity not our own' - Virgil beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für GBP 56.250,00 (€ 79.311,79) versteigert wurde.
