Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Care by Talbot Hughes was sold in the Victorian Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in December 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,143.50) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Talbot Hughes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sewing for victory, which sold at auction in May 2002 for GBP 19,975.00 (€ 31,281.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Care von Talbot Hughes wurde im Dezember 2017 in der Auktion Victorian Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.143,50) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Talbot Hughes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sewing for victory beobachtet, die im Mai 2002 für GBP 19.975,00 (€ 31.281,12) versteigert wurde.
