A top price for John Shirley Fox - as previously expected

The work Lilac time by John Shirley Fox was sold in the BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES auction at Christies in London in November 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,287.50 (€ 7,590.28) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Lilac time is the most expensive artwork by John Shirley Fox that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Lilac time von John Shirley Fox wurde im November 2003 in der Auktion BRITISH AND VICTORIAN PICTURES bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.287,50 (€ 7.590,28) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Lilac time das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Shirley Fox, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
