Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2020 Christies in London held the auction Modern British Art Day Sale, which included the work Les Plats du Jour by Edward Wadsworth. The price achieved of GBP 68,750.00 (€ 81,777.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Wadsworth - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Imaginary Harbour I, which sold at auction in November 2016 for GBP 197,000.00 (€ 232,440.63).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Les Plats du Jour von Edward Wadsworth zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 68.750,00 (€ 81.777,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Wadsworth mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Imaginary Harbour I beobachtet, die im November 2016 für GBP 197.000,00 (€ 232.440,63) versteigert wurde.
