A top price for Leslie Matthew Ward
When the work The Earl of Darnley, 'Ivo' Cricketer by Leslie Matthew Ward was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 18,000.00 (€ 26,125.99). This high result makes The Earl of Darnley, 'Ivo' Cricketer the most expensive artwork by Leslie Matthew Ward that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Leslie Matthew Ward
Als die Arbeit The Earl of Darnley, 'Ivo' Cricketer von Leslie Matthew Ward im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 18.000,00 (€ 26.125,99) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Earl of Darnley, 'Ivo' Cricketer zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Leslie Matthew Ward, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
