Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Joseph Ordering Simeon To Be Bound by William Blake was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2013. It changed hands for a price of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,423.54) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Blake achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Gambols Of Ghosts According With Their Affections Previous To The Final Judgement in January 2013 with an auction result of USD 722,500.00 (€ 531,875.74).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Joseph Ordering Simeon To Be Bound von William Blake kam im Juli 2013 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 31.423,54) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Blake erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Gambols Of Ghosts According With Their Affections Previous To The Final Judgement im Januar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 722.500,00 (€ 531.875,74).
