Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2002 Christies in Melbourne held the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS, which included the work Heron by William Boissevain. The price achieved of AUD 5,287.50 (€ 2,981.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Boissevain - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work River Flats, which sold at auction in August 2005 for AUD 13,145.00 (€ 8,010.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2002 führte Christies in Melbourne die Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Heron von William Boissevain zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 5.287,50 (€ 2.981,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William Boissevain mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit River Flats beobachtet, die im August 2005 für AUD 13.145,00 (€ 8.010,67) versteigert wurde.
