Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by John William Waterhouse achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2018. In the Victorian Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction, the work Flora sold for GBP 500,750.00 (€ 561,450.86) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 250,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John William Waterhouse achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work St Cecilia 'In a clear walled city on the sea, Near gilded organ pipes... ...slept St Cecily' in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 6,603,750.00 (€ 10,467,756.68).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von John William Waterhouse erzielte im Juli 2018 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Victorian Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art wurde die Arbeit Flora für GBP 500.750,00 (€ 561.450,86) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 250.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John William Waterhouse erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit St Cecilia 'In a clear walled city on the sea, Near gilded organ pipes... ...slept St Cecily' im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.603.750,00 (€ 10.467.756,68).
