A top price for William Brice

When the work Roses in Succession by William Brice was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 9,600.00 (€ 7,566.80). This high result makes Roses in Succession the most expensive artwork by William Brice that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für William Brice

Als die Arbeit Roses in Succession von William Brice im September 2006 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 9.600,00 (€ 7.566,80) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Roses in Succession zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von William Brice, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
