In June 2015 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work Head study for 'The Song of Miriam' by William Blake Richmond. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,750.00 (€ 5,287.45), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Blake Richmond achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Watchers in September 2018 with an auction result of GBP 72,500.00 (€ 81,426.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Head study for 'The Song of Miriam' von William Blake Richmond zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.750,00 (€ 5.287,45) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Blake Richmond erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Watchers im September 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 72.500,00 (€ 81.426,82).
