A top price for W. Wilson - as previously expected

In September 2002 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Leaving harbour by W. Wilson. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 705.00 (€ 1,120.41) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Leaving harbour is the most expensive artwork by W. Wilson that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im September 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Leaving harbour von W. Wilson zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 705,00 (€ 1.120,41) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Leaving harbour das teuerste Kunstwerk von W. Wilson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
