Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Cenotaph, The Morning of the Peace Procession by Sir William Nicholson was sold in the Annabel's auction at Christies in London in November 2018. The price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 70,498.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sir William Nicholson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sunflowers in March this year with an auction result of GBP 756,000.00 (€ 860,096.03).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Cenotaph, The Morning of the Peace Procession von Sir William Nicholson wurde im November 2018 in der Auktion Annabel's bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 70.498,10) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sir William Nicholson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sunflowers im März diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 756.000,00 (€ 860.096,03).
