Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work View of Chelsea Old Church from across the River Thames at Chelsea Reach by Walter Greaves was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,991.11). Admittedly, works by Walter Greaves have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work James Abbott McNeill Whistler on the Widow's Walk at his House in Lindsey Row, Chelsea in June 2003 with an auction result of GBP 59,750.00 (€ 85,864.00).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit View of Chelsea Old Church from across the River Thames at Chelsea Reach von Walter Greaves im März 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.991,11) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Walter Greaves auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit James Abbott McNeill Whistler on the Widow's Walk at his House in Lindsey Row, Chelsea im Juni 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 59.750,00 (€ 85.864,00).
