A top price for William Oliver - as previously expected

In November 2000 Christies in London held the auction VICTORIAN PICTURES, which included the work The Grand Canal, Venice by William Oliver. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 7,637.50 (€ 12,483.19) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Grand Canal, Venice is the most expensive artwork by William Oliver that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im November 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion VICTORIAN PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Grand Canal, Venice von William Oliver zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 7.637,50 (€ 12.483,19) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Grand Canal, Venice das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Oliver, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
