A top price for Mildred E. Eldridge

When the work Studies Of A Woodcock And Lapwing by Mildred E. Eldridge was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,440.15). This high result makes Studies Of A Woodcock And Lapwing the most expensive artwork by Mildred E. Eldridge that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Mildred E. Eldridge

Als die Arbeit Studies Of A Woodcock And Lapwing von Mildred E. Eldridge im Dezember 2017 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.440,15) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Studies Of A Woodcock And Lapwing zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Mildred E. Eldridge, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
