Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The nine muses by William Hamilton was sold in the British Art on Paper including Victorian Watercolours from auction at Christies in London in June 2004. The price achieved of GBP 1,195.00 (€ 1,778.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Hamilton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by 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 in November 2010 with an auction result of EUR 82,350.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The nine muses von William Hamilton wurde im Juni 2004 in der Auktion British Art on Paper including Victorian Watercolours from bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.195,00 (€ 1.778,52) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Hamilton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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 im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 82.350,00.
