Despite a disappointment, a good price for William de Morgan

This work of art by William de Morgan could be acquired at Christies in London in February 2003 for an unexpectedly low price. In the THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART auction, the work Perseus and Andromeda changed hands for GBP 4,780.00 (€ 6,978.65) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Perseus and Andromeda is the most expensive artwork by William de Morgan that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für William de Morgan

Dieses Kunstwerk von William de Morgan konnte im Februar 2003 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART wechselte die Arbeit Perseus and Andromeda für GBP 4.780,00 (€ 6.978,65) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Perseus and Andromeda das teuerste Kunstwerk von William de Morgan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
