A top price for W. Seville - as previously expected

The work Unknown by W. Seville was sold in the Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu and Selected Silver auction at Christies in London in November 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 216.00 (€ 320.77) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Unknown is the most expensive artwork by W. Seville that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Unknown von W. Seville wurde im November 2006 in der Auktion Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu and Selected Silver bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 216,00 (€ 320,77) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Unknown das teuerste Kunstwerk von W. Seville, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
