A top price for William Delacour
When the work An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade by William Delacour was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 40,800.00 (€ 58,885.93). This high result makes An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade the most expensive artwork by William Delacour that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für William Delacour
Als die Arbeit An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade von William Delacour im April 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 40.800,00 (€ 58.885,93) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von William Delacour, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
