Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Courtesie And Fraunchise (Courtesy And Frankness) In The Garden Of Idleness by Edward Burne-Jones was sold in the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in June 2014. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 500,000 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 542,500 (€ 677,828). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Burne-Jones achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Love among the Ruins in July 2013 with an auction result of GBP 14,845,875 (€ 16,964,000).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Courtesie And Fraunchise (Courtesy And Frankness) In The Garden Of Idleness von Edward Burne-Jones wurde im Juni 2014 in der Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 500.000 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 542.500 (€ 677.828) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Burne-Jones erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Love among the Ruins im Juli 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.845.875 (€ 16.964.000).
