Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In February 2007 Christies in London held the auction Christopher Wood A Very Victorian Eye, which included the work June in the country by Margaret Gillies. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,020.00 (€ 1,512.11). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Margaret Gillies - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sorrow and Consolation: 'Ill tidings from the field of battle', which sold at auction in November 2010 for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,286.25).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Februar 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christopher Wood A Very Victorian Eye durch, in der auch die Arbeit June in the country von Margaret Gillies zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 1.020,00 (€ 1.512,11) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Margaret Gillies mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sorrow and Consolation: 'Ill tidings from the field of battle' beobachtet, die im November 2010 für GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.286,25) versteigert wurde.
