Sold at the lower estimate price
In October 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction Irish Art, which included the work Caves At Concarneau by William Leech. The result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 41,962.51) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Leech - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Shining Palace, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 102,750.00 (€ 164,875.86).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Oktober 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Caves At Concarneau von William Leech zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 41.962,51) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Leech mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Shining Palace beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für GBP 102.750,00 (€ 164.875,86) versteigert wurde.
