Artwork now most valuable Harry Potter item ever sold 《哈利·波特》初版封面畫拍出該系列小說相關(guān)物品最高價

《哈利·波特》 小說系列的一幅水彩畫原作在美國的一場拍賣會上拍出了190萬美元。這幅畫是英國作家  J · K · 羅琳( JK Rowling )所寫的小說《哈利 · 波特與魔法石》的初版封面,成交價更是超出預(yù)期價格的三倍。

He was an unknown 23-year-old working at a Cambridge bookstore when Thomas Taylor got a commission for the cover of a children's book. The author JK Rowling was as little known as he was.

在接到委托為一本兒童書籍繪制封面畫前,23 歲的托馬斯·泰勒只是劍橋一家書店里名不見經(jīng)傳的店員。書的作者 J·K·羅琳和他同樣鮮為人知。

As the illustrator, Mr Taylor read the manuscript, so he was one of the first people to get a glimpse of the world of Harry Potter and Hogwarts, where the world is magic and the rest are just muggles. It was up to him to visualise the young boy with round glasses and a lightning bolt scar. 

作為插畫師,泰勒先生是第一批閱讀了書籍原稿的人,得以率先看到哈利·波特與霍格沃茨魔法學(xué)校這個區(qū)分了魔法與 “麻瓜(不會使用魔法的人)” 的世界。用自己的畫筆呈現(xiàn)出那個戴圓框眼鏡、有閃電形傷疤的年輕男孩成為了他的責(zé)任。

That watercolour has fetched 1.9 million dollars at a New York auction.

這幅水彩畫在紐約市舉行的一場拍賣會上以 190 萬美元的價格成交。
