Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Grapes, an apple and a red-admiral butterfly on a mossy bank by William Hughes was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2005. The price achieved of GBP 576.00 (€ 845.32) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Hughes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flowers, Fruit, A Bullfinch And Its Nest in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 20,400.00 (€ 30,294.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Grapes, an apple and a red-admiral butterfly on a mossy bank von William Hughes kam im September 2005 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 576,00 (€ 845,32) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 800,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Hughes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flowers, Fruit, A Bullfinch And Its Nest im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.400,00 (€ 30.294,64).
