Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by William Greengrass achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2003. In the 20th Century Prints auction, the work Hurdlers sold for GBP 2,232.50 (€ 2,908.79) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Greengrass - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The King'S Horses, which sold at auction in December 2014 for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 7,241.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Greengrass erzielte im April 2003 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century Prints wurde die Arbeit Hurdlers für GBP 2.232,50 (€ 2.908,79) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Greengrass mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The King'S Horses beobachtet, die im Dezember 2014 für GBP 5.625,00 (€ 7.241,24) versteigert wurde.
