Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Oliver could be acquired at Christies in London in January 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Property From Encombe, Dorset & La Chasse, Jersey auction, the work Portrait of a lady, seated three-quarter-length, reading a book changed hands for GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,431.57) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Oliver - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Grand Canal, Venice, which sold at auction in November 2000 for GBP 7,637.50 (€ 12,483.19).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Oliver konnte im Januar 2007 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Property From Encombe, Dorset & La Chasse, Jersey wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, seated three-quarter-length, reading a book für GBP 3.600,00 (€ 5.431,57) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Oliver mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Grand Canal, Venice beobachtet, die im November 2000 für GBP 7.637,50 (€ 12.483,19) versteigert wurde.
