Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A sham by William Hemsley was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2007. The price achieved of GBP 6,600.00 (€ 9,714.45) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Hemsley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sunday Morning, which sold at auction in June 2000 for GBP 12,925.00 (€ 20,487.72).
