Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
The work Woman Picking Nuts by William Roberts was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Bonhams in March this year. It achieved a price of GBP 8,287.50 (€ 9,428.63), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 38%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Roberts achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Chess Players in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 1,161,250.00 (€ 1,446,866.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Woman Picking Nuts von William Roberts wurde im März diesen Jahres in der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art bei Bonhams versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 8.287,50 (€ 9.428,63) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 38%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Roberts erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Chess Players im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.161.250,00 (€ 1.446.866,41).
