Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study Of A Lobster And Shrimps by James Sillett was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,509.70) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Sillett - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Goldfish, which sold at auction in November 2010 for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,962.49).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Study Of A Lobster And Shrimps von James Sillett kam im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.509,70) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von James Sillett mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Goldfish beobachtet, die im November 2010 für GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.962,49) versteigert wurde.
