A top price for Robert Hollands Walker - as previously expected
In October 2002 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work Haddon Hall and the river Wye by Robert Hollands Walker. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 646.25 (€ 1,022.25) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Haddon Hall and the river Wye is the most expensive artwork by Robert Hollands Walker that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Oktober 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Haddon Hall and the river Wye von Robert Hollands Walker zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 646,25 (€ 1.022,25) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Haddon Hall and the river Wye das teuerste Kunstwerk von Robert Hollands Walker, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
