Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Still-life with a jug, glass and apples by Benjamin Walter Spiers was auctioned at Christies in London in August 2003. The price achieved of GBP 998.75 (€ 1,433.94) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benjamin Walter Spiers achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Un po' di Roma in February 2007 with an auction result of GBP 38,400.00 (€ 56,926.62).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Still-life with a jug, glass and apples von Benjamin Walter Spiers kam im August 2003 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 998,75 (€ 1.433,94) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Benjamin Walter Spiers erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Un po' di Roma im Februar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 38.400,00 (€ 56.926,62).
