Auction result well in line with expectations
In June last year Sothebys in London held the auction Modern British Day Auction, which included the work Three Masted Ships and Arched Railway Bridge by Alfred Wallis. It changed hands for a price of GBP 17,640.00 (€ 20,492.66) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Admittedly, works by Alfred Wallis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern British Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Three Masted Ships and Arched Railway Bridge von Alfred Wallis zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 17.640,00 (€ 20.492,66) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alfred Wallis auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit St Ives Bay With Godrevy im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 145.250,00 (€ 180.975,11).
