Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Study for 'Phyllis and Demophoön', 1905 by John William Waterhouse was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2019. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 250,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 275,000.00 (€ 301,931.72). 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Study for 'Phyllis and Demophoön', 1905 von John William Waterhouse kam im Juli 2019 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 250.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 275.000,00 (€ 301.931,72) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
