Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Lugger In A Gale And A Lighthouse by Alfred Wallis was sold in the Modern & Post-War British Art auction at Sothebys in London in November 2020. The price achieved of GBP 6,300.00 (€ 7,032.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alfred Wallis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work St Ives Bay With Godrevy in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 145,250.00 (€ 180,975.11).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Lugger In A Gale And A Lighthouse von Alfred Wallis wurde im November 2020 in der Auktion Modern & Post-War British Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.300,00 (€ 7.032,93) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alfred Wallis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit St Ives Bay With Godrevy im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 145.250,00 (€ 180.975,11).
