Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Snowdon from the lake at Capel Curig; and A tranquil stretch of the river in the soft evening light by Warren Williams was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 896.25 (€ 1,268.44) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Snowdon from the lake at Capel Curig; and A tranquil stretch of the river in the soft evening light von Warren Williams kam im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 896,25 (€ 1.268,44) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
