Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sea treasure by Vernon Ward was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2007. The price achieved of GBP 384.00 (€ 579.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vernon Ward - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Light in the dale, widgeons rising from a pool, which sold at auction in November 2002 for GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,655.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Sea treasure von Vernon Ward kam im Januar 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 384,00 (€ 579,37) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Vernon Ward mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Light in the dale, widgeons rising from a pool beobachtet, die im November 2002 für GBP 1.057,50 (€ 1.655,99) versteigert wurde.
