Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ulysses Terrified By The Ghosts; And Venus Presenting Helen To Paris by John Flaxman was sold in the British Art on Paper auction at Christies in London in June 2007. The price achieved of GBP 3,120.00 (€ 4,629.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Admittedly, works by John Flaxman have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Angels Rescuing A Soul From The Ranks of The Dead in June 2006 with an auction result of GBP 14,400.00 (€ 20,836.56).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ulysses Terrified By The Ghosts; And Venus Presenting Helen To Paris von John Flaxman wurde im Juni 2007 in der Auktion British Art on Paper bei Christies in London versteigert.

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Flaxman auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Angels Rescuing A Soul From The Ranks of The Dead im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.400,00 (€ 20.836,56).
