Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The ebbing tide; and Waves crashing on the coast by William Edwards Croxford was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2004, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 179.25 (€ 253.69). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Edwards Croxford - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The end of the headland, Newquay, which sold at auction in October 2002 for GBP 352.50 (€ 557.59).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The ebbing tide; and Waves crashing on the coast von William Edwards Croxford im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 179,25 (€ 253,69) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von William Edwards Croxford mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The end of the headland, Newquay beobachtet, die im Oktober 2002 für GBP 352,50 (€ 557,59) versteigert wurde.
