Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Collector, Dealer, Connoisseur: The Vision of Richard L. Feigen, which included the work An Italian river scene, with the Temple of Clitumnus and ruins, two figures and cows by Richard Wilson. The price achieved of USD 52,920.00 (€ 45,810.25) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Admittedly, works by Richard Wilson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The White Monk in January 2001 with an auction result of USD 391,000.00 (€ 420,068.76).

Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 52.920,00 (€ 45.810,25) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Richard Wilson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The White Monk im Januar 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 391.000,00 (€ 420.068,76).
