Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Sheep grazing in a highland landscape; and Cattle watering in a highland landscape by William Davies was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,186.60). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Davies - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Borrowdale, Cumberland, which sold at auction in March 2001 for GBP 4,935.00 (€ 7,963.12).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Sheep grazing in a highland landscape; and Cattle watering in a highland landscape von William Davies im Oktober 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 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.186,60) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von William Davies mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Borrowdale, Cumberland beobachtet, die im März 2001 für GBP 4.935,00 (€ 7.963,12) versteigert wurde.
