Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work British A New Day by William Henry Margetson was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 42,000.00 (€ 30,746.71). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Henry Margetson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work On The Sands, which sold at auction in May 2011 for GBP 97,250.00 (€ 111,205.67).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit British A New Day von William Henry Margetson im April 2007 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 42.000,00 (€ 30.746,71) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von William Henry Margetson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit On The Sands beobachtet, die im Mai 2011 für GBP 97.250,00 (€ 111.205,67) versteigert wurde.
