Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Cottage Garden by George Spencer Watson was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 19,971.77). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Spencer Watson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Orange Dress, which sold at auction in November 2013 for GBP 47,500.00 (€ 57,159.89).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Cottage Garden von George Spencer Watson im Mai 2014 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.250,00 (€ 19.971,77) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von George Spencer Watson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Orange Dress beobachtet, die im November 2013 für GBP 47.500,00 (€ 57.159,89) versteigert wurde.
