Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Swinton Family by William Orpen was sold in the Modern British & Irish Art auction at Sothebys in London in November 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 163,800.00 (€ 192,316.61) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by William Orpen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of Lady Idina Wallace in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 962,500.00 (€ 1,158,239.93).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Swinton Family von William Orpen wurde im November 2021 in der Auktion Modern British & Irish Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 163.800,00 (€ 192.316,61) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Orpen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of Lady Idina Wallace im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 962.500,00 (€ 1.158.239,93).
