Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo by William Collingwood Smith was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2003. The price achieved of GBP 587.50 (€ 857.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Collingwood Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Thanksgiving Day, St Paul's Cathedral, 27 February 1872 in November 2012 with an auction result of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,858.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo von William Collingwood Smith kam im Februar 2003 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 587,50 (€ 857,73) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Collingwood Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Thanksgiving Day, St Paul's Cathedral, 27 February 1872 im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 13.858,86).
