A top price for Walter Hood Fitch - as previously expected
In September 2005 Christies in New York held the auction THE HOUSE SALE, which included the work Icones Plantarum: Seven Plates by Walter Hood Fitch. The price achieved of USD 1,680.00 (€ 1,393.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Icones Plantarum: Seven Plates is the most expensive artwork by Walter Hood Fitch that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im September 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion THE HOUSE SALE durch, in der auch die Arbeit Icones Plantarum: Seven Plates von Walter Hood Fitch zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.680,00 (€ 1.393,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Icones Plantarum: Seven Plates das teuerste Kunstwerk von Walter Hood Fitch, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
