Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Flame - 1984 by Bill Woodrow was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,114.89). Admittedly, works by Bill Woodrow have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Round the Kitchen Table in September 2015 with an auction result of USD 22,500.00 (€ 20,157.68).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Flame - 1984 von Bill Woodrow im Mai 2012 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.114,89) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bill Woodrow auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Round the Kitchen Table im September 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 22.500,00 (€ 20.157,68).
