Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Homeward bound by Walter Firle was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2004. The price achieved of GBP 2,987.50 (€ 4,228.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Walter Firle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Telling sweet stories, which sold at auction in October 2005 for EUR 9,600.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Homeward bound von Walter Firle kam im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.987,50 (€ 4.228,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Walter Firle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Telling sweet stories beobachtet, die im Oktober 2005 für EUR 9.600,00 versteigert wurde.
