In December this year Christies in London held the auction British and European Art, which included the work Sea Melodies by Herbert James Draper. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 37,800.00 (€ 43,544.15), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Herbert James Draper achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Mountain Mists in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 2,010,000.00 (€ 1,739,958.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im Dezember diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion British and European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sea Melodies von Herbert James Draper zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 37.800,00 (€ 43.544,15) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Herbert James Draper erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Mountain Mists im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.010.000,00 (€ 1.739.958,45).
