Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2006 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper Including 'The Blue Rigi' by J.M.W. Turner, R.A., which included the work The Bouquet by Frederick Walker. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 60,000.00 – 100,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 66,000.00 (€ 95,500.90) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frederick Walker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Harbour Of Refuge, which sold at auction in November 2004 for GBP 139,650.00 (€ 200,885.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper Including 'The Blue Rigi' by J.M.W. Turner, R.A. durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Bouquet von Frederick Walker zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 66.000,00 (€ 95.500,90) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Frederick Walker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Harbour Of Refuge beobachtet, die im November 2004 für GBP 139.650,00 (€ 200.885,77) versteigert wurde.
