Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In June 2001 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work Violets by Henry Meynell Rheam. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 7,050.00 (€ 11,711.45), 18% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry Meynell Rheam - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Once Upon A Time (Snow White), which sold at auction in May 2011 for GBP 37,250.00 (€ 42,595.49).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Juni 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Violets von Henry Meynell Rheam zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 7.050,00 (€ 11.711,45) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Henry Meynell Rheam mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Once Upon A Time (Snow White) beobachtet, die im Mai 2011 für GBP 37.250,00 (€ 42.595,49) versteigert wurde.
