A top price for John Gilbert - as previously expected
The work The marriage of Katherine and Petruchio: The Taming of the Shrew by John Gilbert was sold in the Victorian & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in November 2012. The auction ended at the price of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,159.49), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The marriage of Katherine and Petruchio: The Taming of the Shrew is the most expensive artwork by John Gilbert that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The marriage of Katherine and Petruchio: The Taming of the Shrew von John Gilbert wurde im November 2012 in der Auktion Victorian & British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 6.159,49) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The marriage of Katherine and Petruchio: The Taming of the Shrew das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Gilbert, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
