A top price for Wilhelm List - as previously expected
The work German The Offering by Wilhelm List was sold in the 19th Century Paintings including Spanish Painting and Symbolism & the Poetic Vision auction at Sothebys in London in November 2007. The price achieved of GBP 60,500.00 (€ 84,715.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, German The Offering is the most expensive artwork by Wilhelm List that we have observed at auctions so far.
