A top price for Oscar Wilson
In March 2017 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art, which included the work A battle of wits: tourists, pickpockets and police, St Mark's Square by Oscar Wilson. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,031.41), 20% above the upper estimate. With this result, A battle of wits: tourists, pickpockets and police, St Mark's Square is even the most expensive work of art by Oscar Wilson that we have observed at auctions so far.
