A top price for William Edward Norton
In May 2004 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Pictures, which included the work A barque under sail and running down Channel by William Edward Norton. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,755.00 (€ 16,136.46), 34% above the upper estimate. With this result, A barque under sail and running down Channel is even the most expensive work of art by William Edward Norton that we have observed at auctions so far.
