A top price for John Wood - as previously expected

The work Comus And The Lady Benighted by John Wood was sold in the British Pictures 1500-1850 auction at Christies in London in June 2001. The price achieved of GBP 9,400.00 (€ 15,615.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Comus And The Lady Benighted is the most expensive artwork by John Wood that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Comus And The Lady Benighted von John Wood wurde im Juni 2001 in der Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 9.400,00 (€ 15.615,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Comus And The Lady Benighted das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Wood, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
