Sold at the lower estimate price
In May 2012 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work The Colombian barquentine Zelia from Riohacha, making her numbers off Norby on the Island of Fano, Denmark by William Howard Yorke. The result of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,737.87) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Howard Yorke have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The American clipper Caravan rendering assistance to a British full-rigger in mid-Atlantic in July 2003 with an auction result of USD 23,900.00 (€ 19,415.11).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Mai 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Colombian barquentine Zelia from Riohacha, making her numbers off Norby on the Island of Fano, Denmark von William Howard Yorke zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.737,87) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Howard Yorke auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The American clipper Caravan rendering assistance to a British full-rigger in mid-Atlantic im Juli 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.900,00 (€ 19.415,11).
