Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In September 2008 Christies in London held the auction Travel, Science & Natural History, which included the work A View of Shekoabad; and A View of the Fort of Peteter, from Select Views in India (Abbey Travel 416, nos. 43,44) by William Hodges. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 600.00 (€ 758.64), 50% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Hodges achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Matavie Bay in the Island of Otaheite (Matavai Bay, Tahiti) in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 659,250.00 (€ 764,682.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im September 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel, Science & Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit A View of Shekoabad; and A View of the Fort of Peteter, from Select Views in India (Abbey Travel 416, nos. 43,44) von William Hodges zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 600,00 (€ 758,64) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Hodges erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Matavie Bay in the Island of Otaheite (Matavai Bay, Tahiti) im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 659.250,00 (€ 764.682,72).
