Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In February 2003 Christies in London held the auction THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART, which included the work The Catapult by William Reid Dick. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 6,572.50 (€ 9,595.64). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Reid Dick - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sir Winston Churchill, which sold at auction in February 2008 for GBP 28,100.00 (€ 36,753.70).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Februar 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Catapult von William Reid Dick zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 6.572,50 (€ 9.595,64) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von William Reid Dick mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sir Winston Churchill beobachtet, die im Februar 2008 für GBP 28.100,00 (€ 36.753,70) versteigert wurde.
