Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work Laura reading by Walter Crane was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 52,500.00 (€ 58,864.04), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter Crane achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Fate of Persephone that fair field Of Enna, where Proserpine, gathering flowers, Herself a fairer flower, by gloomy Dis Was gathered. (Paradise Lost, Book IV, lines 268-71) in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 424,650.00 (€ 656,837.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Laura reading von Walter Crane kam im Juli 2018 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 52.500,00 (€ 58.864,04) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 50%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter Crane erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Fate of Persephone that fair field Of Enna, where Proserpine, gathering flowers, Herself a fairer flower, by gloomy Dis Was gathered. (Paradise Lost, Book IV, lines 268-71) im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 424.650,00 (€ 656.837,38).
