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 Roman Matron by Frederick Edward McWilliam. The price achieved of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 71,369.33) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frederick Edward McWilliam - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Woodhenge, which sold at auction in June 2018 for GBP 224,750.00 (€ 254,005.80).
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 Roman Matron von Frederick Edward McWilliam zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 71.369,33) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Frederick Edward McWilliam mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Woodhenge beobachtet, die im Juni 2018 für GBP 224.750,00 (€ 254.005,80) versteigert wurde.
