Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Walter Crane achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2019. In the British & European Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction, the work Moonrise sold for GBP 17,500.00 (€ 19,213.84) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Walter Crane erzielte im Juli 2019 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British & European Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art wurde die Arbeit Moonrise für GBP 17.500,00 (€ 19.213,84) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. 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).
