The work The Explorer Returns To Kew by Luke Fildes was sold in the British and Victorian Paintings auction at Christies in London in September 2004. It achieved a price of GBP 657.25 (€ 957.53), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 64%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Luke Fildes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Simpletons (The Sweet River) in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,823.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 64 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Explorer Returns To Kew von Luke Fildes wurde im September 2004 in der Auktion British and Victorian Paintings bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 657,25 (€ 957,53) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 64%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Luke Fildes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Simpletons (The Sweet River) im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.823,24).
