Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Elegant Figures On The Esplanade (Illustrated); And Elegant Figures On The Waterfront by Warren Williams was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,673.00 (€ 2,437.35). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Warren Williams - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Figures and beached fishing vessels on a beach, which sold at auction in March 2002 for GBP 3,055.00 (€ 4,994.12).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Elegant Figures On The Esplanade (Illustrated); And Elegant Figures On The Waterfront von Warren Williams im September 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.673,00 (€ 2.437,35) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Warren Williams mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Figures and beached fishing vessels on a beach beobachtet, die im März 2002 für GBP 3.055,00 (€ 4.994,12) versteigert wurde.
