Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Sketchbook, Containing Pencil Sketches, Early Drafts Of The Island Of Statues, And Other Notes by William Butler Yeats was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 35,000.00 (€ 39,707.95). Admittedly, works by William Butler Yeats have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Highly Important Series Of 133 Autograph Letters Signed To His Close Friend And Early Lover Olivia Shakespear, in September 2017 with an auction result of GBP 248,750.00 (€ 282,210.07).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Sketchbook, Containing Pencil Sketches, Early Drafts Of The Island Of Statues, And Other Notes von William Butler Yeats im September 2017 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 35.000,00 (€ 39.707,95) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Butler Yeats auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Highly Important Series Of 133 Autograph Letters Signed To His Close Friend And Early Lover Olivia Shakespear, im September 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 248.750,00 (€ 282.210,07).
