A top price for John Walter Wolseley - as previously expected
In August 2003 Christies in Sydney held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Concerning the Making of Steel by John Walter Wolseley. The price achieved of AUD 19,975.00 (€ 11,800.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 18,000.00 – 25,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Concerning the Making of Steel is the most expensive artwork by John Walter Wolseley that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im August 2003 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Concerning the Making of Steel von John Walter Wolseley zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 19.975,00 (€ 11.800,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 18.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Concerning the Making of Steel das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Walter Wolseley, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
