Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Nor' Western Town by Jack Butler Yeats was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2021. The price achieved of GBP 426,400.00 (€ 500,633.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 350,000.00 – 550,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jack Butler Yeats - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Whistle of a Jacket, which sold at auction in May 2001 for GBP 1,103,750.00 (€ 1,850,462.00).

Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 426.400,00 (€ 500.633,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 350.000,00 – 550.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jack Butler Yeats mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Whistle of a Jacket beobachtet, die im Mai 2001 für GBP 1.103.750,00 (€ 1.850.462,00) versteigert wurde.
