Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Hastings from the Pier Rocks by William Collingwood was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 562.50 (€ 711.02). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Collingwood - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Jungfrau At Sunrise, which sold at auction in December 2007 for GBP 1,062.50 (€ 1,443.76).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Hastings from the Pier Rocks von William Collingwood im Juni 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 562,50 (€ 711,02) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von William Collingwood mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Jungfrau At Sunrise beobachtet, die im Dezember 2007 für GBP 1.062,50 (€ 1.443,76) versteigert wurde.
