Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2008 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work A trading vessel under tug escort with other vessels on the river crowded with spectators by Frank Wasley. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,125.00 (€ 1,422.45) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frank Wasley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work St. Paul's from the South Bank, which sold at auction in March 2003 for GBP 3,760.00 (€ 5,446.83).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit A trading vessel under tug escort with other vessels on the river crowded with spectators von Frank Wasley zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.125,00 (€ 1.422,45) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Frank Wasley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit St. Paul's from the South Bank beobachtet, die im März 2003 für GBP 3.760,00 (€ 5.446,83) versteigert wurde.
