Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Job's Comforters, from Illustrations of the Book of Job by William Blake was worth USD 6,120.00 (€ 5,458.44) to a buyer in January last year. This price was achieved in the auction Prints & Multiples at Bonhams in Los Angeles and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 900.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Blake achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Gambols Of Ghosts According With Their Affections Previous To The Final Judgement in January 2013 with an auction result of USD 722,500.00 (€ 531,875.74).

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Blake erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Gambols Of Ghosts According With Their Affections Previous To The Final Judgement im Januar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 722.500,00 (€ 531.875,74).
