Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Red Boats At Low Tide; And The Blue Boat by Charles Williams was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,848.65). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Williams - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View of Openshaw And Clayton From The Studio, which sold at auction in January 2008 for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,702.72).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Red Boats At Low Tide; And The Blue Boat von Charles Williams im Januar 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.848,65) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Williams mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View of Openshaw And Clayton From The Studio beobachtet, die im Januar 2008 für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 6.702,72) versteigert wurde.
