Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The cello player by William Banks Fortescue was sold in the British and European Art Online auction at Bonhams in London in September this year. The price achieved of GBP 1,792.00 (€ 1,792.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Banks Fortescue achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Putting In Broccoli Plants, Cornwall in February 2019 with an auction result of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 23,330.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The cello player von William Banks Fortescue wurde im September diesen Jahres in der Auktion British and European Art Online bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.792,00 (€ 1.792,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Banks Fortescue erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Putting In Broccoli Plants, Cornwall im Februar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.000,00 (€ 23.330,70).
