In December 2015 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work The Ghost Of Prince Edward Appearing To Clarence In A Dream; Act 1, Scene 4 Of 'Richard Iii' by Richard Westall. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,546.16), 56% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Westall achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Faust and Lilith in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 55,250.00 (€ 68,138.59).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Ghost Of Prince Edward Appearing To Clarence In A Dream; Act 1, Scene 4 Of 'Richard Iii' von Richard Westall zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.546,16) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Westall erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Faust and Lilith im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 55.250,00 (€ 68.138,59).
