Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.

The work The Swallow by Bill Woodrow was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2004. It achieved a price of GBP 4,780.00 (€ 6,879.73), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 59%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bill Woodrow - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Round the Kitchen Table, which sold at auction in September 2015 for USD 22,500.00 (€ 20,157.68).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 59 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit The Swallow von Bill Woodrow kam im Oktober 2004 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.780,00 (€ 6.879,73) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 59%. Für andere Arbeiten von Bill Woodrow mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Round the Kitchen Table beobachtet, die im September 2015 für USD 22.500,00 (€ 20.157,68) versteigert wurde.
