A top price for Walter Crane - as previously expected
In June 2002 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT BRITISH ART, which included 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) by Walter Crane. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 400,000.00 – 600,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 424,650.00 (€ 656,837.38) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, 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) is the most expensive artwork by Walter Crane that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion IMPORTANT BRITISH ART durch, in der auch 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) von Walter Crane zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 424.650,00 (€ 656.837,38) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist 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) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Walter Crane, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
