Upper estimate price exceeded by 44 %.
The work Somalis, Jews And Overland Passengers At Aden, Yemen by William Simpson was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 2,160.00 (€ 3,205.33), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 44%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Simpson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives in March last year with an auction result of GBP 94,500.00 (€ 112,040.39).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 44 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Somalis, Jews And Overland Passengers At Aden, Yemen von William Simpson kam im Juni 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 2.160,00 (€ 3.205,33) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 44%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Simpson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 94.500,00 (€ 112.040,39).
