W.B. YEATS LOUNGING IN AN ARMCHAIR
pencil
25.5 by 36.5cm., 10 by 14¼in.
Executed circa 1895-97.

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work W.B. Yeats Lounging In An Armchair by John Butler Yeats was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,956.19). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Butler Yeats achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Self Portrait, New York in September 2017 with an auction result of GBP 87,500.00 (€ 99,269.87).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit W.B. Yeats Lounging In An Armchair von John Butler Yeats im September 2017 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.250,00 (€ 5.956,19) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Butler Yeats erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Self Portrait, New York im September 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 87.500,00 (€ 99.269,87).
