Auction result well in line with expectations

In April 2007 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work Calypso receiving Telemachus and Mentor in the Grotto by William Hamilton. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 21,600.00 (€ 31,625.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Hamilton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Campi Phlegraei. Observations On The Volcanos Of The Two Sicilies. Supplement To The Campi Phlegraei Being An Account Of The Great Eruption Of Mont Vesuvius In The Month Of August 1779. Napoli: Pietro Fabris, 1776-79, which sold at auction in November 2010 for EUR 82,350.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Calypso receiving Telemachus and Mentor in the Grotto von William Hamilton zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 21.600,00 (€ 31.625,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von William Hamilton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Campi Phlegraei. Observations On The Volcanos Of The Two Sicilies. Supplement To The Campi Phlegraei Being An Account Of The Great Eruption Of Mont Vesuvius In The Month Of August 1779. Napoli: Pietro Fabris, 1776-79 beobachtet, die im November 2010 für EUR 82.350,00 versteigert wurde.
