Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Lock Gate by William Pitt was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2008. The price achieved of GBP 525.00 (€ 669.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Pitt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Near Stoke Gabriel on the Dart, Devon; and Cottage at Hooe, near Plymouth in September 2000 with an auction result of GBP 8,225.00 (€ 13,762.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Lock Gate von William Pitt kam im April 2008 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 525,00 (€ 669,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Pitt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Near Stoke Gabriel on the Dart, Devon; and Cottage at Hooe, near Plymouth im September 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.225,00 (€ 13.762,94).
