Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2010 Christies in London held the auction Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale, which included the work A waterfall, with the artist sketching in the foreground by William Armstrong. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,125.00 (€ 3,614.39) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by William Armstrong have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work On the Kaministiquoia River, Lake Superior in September 2010 with an auction result of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,023.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A waterfall, with the artist sketching in the foreground von William Armstrong zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.125,00 (€ 3.614,39) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Armstrong auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit On the Kaministiquoia River, Lake Superior im September 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 26.023,64).
