Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Romeo and Juliet: 'If I profane with my unworthiest hand' by William Hatherell was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 750.00 (€ 867.98). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Hatherell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Catch in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 16,250.00 (€ 19,205.60).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Romeo and Juliet: 'If I profane with my unworthiest hand' von William Hatherell im Oktober 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 750,00 (€ 867,98) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Hatherell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Catch im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 19.205,60).
