Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2014 Christies in London held the auction Robert Kime, David Bedale, Piers von Westenholz and Christopher Gibbs - The English Home, which included the work London Views (Pennington 907-910) by Wenceslaus Hollar. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,187.50 (€ 1,445.46) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wenceslaus Hollar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Old St. Paul'S Cathedral, London, Seen From The East in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 75,650.00 (€ 90,960.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Robert Kime, David Bedale, Piers von Westenholz and Christopher Gibbs - The English Home durch, in der auch die Arbeit London Views (Pennington 907-910) von Wenceslaus Hollar zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.187,50 (€ 1.445,46) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wenceslaus Hollar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Old St. Paul'S Cathedral, London, Seen From The East im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 75.650,00 (€ 90.960,60).
