Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work The crossing sweeper by William Powell Frith for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,863.54). This price was achieved in the auction British and European Art at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Powell Frith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Derby Day: the 'first study' for the celebrated painting in December 2011 with an auction result of GBP 505,250.00 (€ 605,108.24).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The crossing sweeper von William Powell Frith für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.863,54) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion British and European Art bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Powell Frith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Derby Day: the 'first study' for the celebrated painting im Dezember 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 505.250,00 (€ 605.108,24).
