Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Works on Paper, which included the work An Extensive View Of The Acropolis And Athens by Hugh William Williams. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 13,948.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hugh William Williams achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An extensive view of the Acropolis and Athens, Greece, with the Herodeion Atticon below in July 2011 with an auction result of GBP 157,250.00 (€ 180,467.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Extensive View Of The Acropolis And Athens von Hugh William Williams zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 13.948,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hugh William Williams erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An extensive view of the Acropolis and Athens, Greece, with the Herodeion Atticon below im Juli 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 157.250,00 (€ 180.467,90).
