Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Phantasmagoria: Scene - Conjuring Up an Armed Skeleton by James Gillray was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in November this year. The price achieved of USD 960.00 (€ 880.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Gillray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work ‘Consequences Of A Successful French Invasion... Or... We Fly On The Wings Of The Wind To Save The Irish Catholics From Persecution’ in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 47,500.00 (€ 54,081.37).
