Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures), which included the work Frigates riding out the gale (illustrated); and French fishing boats in coastal waters by William McAlpine. The price achieved of GBP 1,080.00 (€ 1,589.29) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William McAlpine - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Men-o-war returning from battle, which sold at auction in March 2001 for GBP 3,290.00 (€ 5,308.74).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Frigates riding out the gale (illustrated); and French fishing boats in coastal waters von William McAlpine zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.080,00 (€ 1.589,29) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William McAlpine mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Men-o-war returning from battle beobachtet, die im März 2001 für GBP 3.290,00 (€ 5.308,74) versteigert wurde.
