A top price for William Cruickshank
In June 2000 Christies in London held the auction SPORTING ART AND DOGS, which included the work A cat and mouse with a pheasant and a rabbit in a larder; and Pheasant and a hare in a larder by William Cruickshank. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,527.50 (€ 2,421.28), 27% above the upper estimate. With this result, A cat and mouse with a pheasant and a rabbit in a larder; and Pheasant and a hare in a larder is even the most expensive work of art by William Cruickshank that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für William Cruickshank
Im Juni 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion SPORTING ART AND DOGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit A cat and mouse with a pheasant and a rabbit in a larder; and Pheasant and a hare in a larder von William Cruickshank zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.527,50 (€ 2.421,28) und damit 27% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Mit diesem Ergebnis ist A cat and mouse with a pheasant and a rabbit in a larder; and Pheasant and a hare in a larder sogar das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Cruickshank, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
