Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In November 2012 Sothebys in Toronto held the auction Important Canadian Art, which included the work Abstract Composition by William Smith Ronald. The »bidding war« ended at CAD 27,000.00 (€ 20,896.46), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Smith Ronald - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Back Thru Spring, which sold at auction in May 2012 for CAD 100,250.00 (€ 78,341.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im November 2012 führte Sothebys in Toronto die Auktion Important Canadian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Abstract Composition von William Smith Ronald zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von CAD 27.000,00 (€ 20.896,46) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von William Smith Ronald mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Back Thru Spring beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für CAD 100.250,00 (€ 78.341,60) versteigert wurde.
