Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Tip, Openshaw; And The Foundry Yard, Openshaw 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 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,686.49). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Charles Williams; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot View of Openshaw And Clayton From The Studio sold at auction in January 2008 with the realized price of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,702.72).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Tip, Openshaw; And The Foundry Yard, Openshaw 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 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.686,49) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Charles Williams; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit View of Openshaw And Clayton From The Studio im Januar 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 6.702,72).
