Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work The Beach Promenade by Albert Willem was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 100,800.00 (€ 118,581.60). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Albert Willem - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work All In All Not Bad For His First Attempt, which sold at auction in June this year for GBP 228,600.00 (€ 266,051.04).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Beach Promenade von Albert Willem im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 100.800,00 (€ 118.581,60) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Albert Willem mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit All In All Not Bad For His First Attempt beobachtet, die im Juni diesen Jahres für GBP 228.600,00 (€ 266.051,04) versteigert wurde.
