Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Elspeth by Richard Wathen was sold in the Contemporary Art | London auction at Sothebys in London in December 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,024.00 (€ 3,607.00). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Wathen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lower Kingdom in May 2012 with an auction result of USD 80,500.00 (€ 65,108.38).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Elspeth von Richard Wathen wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion Contemporary Art | London bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 3.024,00 (€ 3.607,00) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Wathen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lower Kingdom im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 80.500,00 (€ 65.108,38).
