Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Chinese Girl, Hong Kong by Charles Wirgman was sold in the THE TRAVEL SALE auction at Christies in London in September 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 528.75 (€ 853.71) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Wirgman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Japanese Warriors in October 2013 with an auction result of GBP 20,625.00 (€ 24,378.59).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Chinese Girl, Hong Kong von Charles Wirgman wurde im September 2001 in der Auktion THE TRAVEL SALE bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 528,75 (€ 853,71) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Wirgman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Japanese Warriors im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.625,00 (€ 24.378,59).
