A top price for Walter Richard Sickert - as previously expected
In November 2016 Christies in London held the auction Modern British & Irish Art Evening Sale, which included the work L' Eldorado by Walter Richard Sickert. The price achieved of GBP 245,000.00 (€ 289,075.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, L' Eldorado is the most expensive artwork by Walter Richard Sickert that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British & Irish Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit L' Eldorado von Walter Richard Sickert zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 245.000,00 (€ 289.075,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist L' Eldorado das teuerste Kunstwerk von Walter Richard Sickert, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
