A top price for Richard Hawkins
When the work Wrath Of The Underworld by Richard Hawkins was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 23,750.00 (€ 32,163.14). This high result makes Wrath Of The Underworld the most expensive artwork by Richard Hawkins that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Richard Hawkins
Als die Arbeit Wrath Of The Underworld von Richard Hawkins im September 2015 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 23.750,00 (€ 32.163,14) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Wrath Of The Underworld zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Richard Hawkins, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
