Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2014 Christies in London held the auction Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours, which included the work A View Of Mogadino On Lake Maggiore, Switzerland by William Pars. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,723.99), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Pars - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View Of Twickenham And The River Thames From Strawberry Hill, London, which sold at auction in June 2001 for GBP 15,275.00 (€ 25,374.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit A View Of Mogadino On Lake Maggiore, Switzerland von William Pars zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 7.723,99) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von William Pars mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View Of Twickenham And The River Thames From Strawberry Hill, London beobachtet, die im Juni 2001 für GBP 15.275,00 (€ 25.374,81) versteigert wurde.
