A top price for Wilfrid Rene Wood - as previously expected
In October 2012 Christies in London held the auction Posters With A Purpose: The London Transport Museum Sale, which included the work Kew Gardens by Wilfrid Rene Wood. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,062.50 (€ 1,321.03) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Kew Gardens is the most expensive artwork by Wilfrid Rene Wood that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Oktober 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Posters With A Purpose: The London Transport Museum Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kew Gardens von Wilfrid Rene Wood zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.062,50 (€ 1.321,03) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Kew Gardens das teuerste Kunstwerk von Wilfrid Rene Wood, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
