Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work White City Stadium, Greyhound Racing by Harold Sandys Williamson was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,709.57). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Harold Sandys Williamson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work There And Back, which sold at auction in October 2012 for GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,905.79).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit White City Stadium, Greyhound Racing von Harold Sandys Williamson im Oktober 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.709,57) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Harold Sandys Williamson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit There And Back beobachtet, die im Oktober 2012 für GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.905,79) versteigert wurde.
