Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A View of Vaitepiha Bay, Tahiti (Tautira Valley from Tautira Bay) by William Hodges was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 300,000.00 – 400,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 311,250.00 (€ 361,027.68) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Hodges - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Matavie Bay in the Island of Otaheite (Matavai Bay, Tahiti), which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 659,250.00 (€ 764,682.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A View of Vaitepiha Bay, Tahiti (Tautira Valley from Tautira Bay) von William Hodges kam im Oktober 2019 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300.000,00 – 400.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 311.250,00 (€ 361.027,68) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von William Hodges mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Matavie Bay in the Island of Otaheite (Matavai Bay, Tahiti) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2019 für GBP 659.250,00 (€ 764.682,72) versteigert wurde.
