In November 2006 Sothebys in Olympia held the auction British and Continental Pictures including Marine pictures, which included the work Under The Hawthorn Blossom by Walter Follen Bishop. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,560.00 (€ 6,771.74), 52% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Walter Follen Bishop - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work In The Heart of The Forest, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 18,000.00 (€ 26,711.09).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 52 % übertroffen
Im November 2006 führte Sothebys in Olympia die Auktion British and Continental Pictures including Marine pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Under The Hawthorn Blossom von Walter Follen Bishop zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.560,00 (€ 6.771,74) und damit 52% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Walter Follen Bishop mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit In The Heart of The Forest beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für GBP 18.000,00 (€ 26.711,09) versteigert wurde.
