Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2010 Christies in London held the auction Travel, Science and Natural History, which included the work Trial of two prisoners for looting Commissariat Stores; and Abyssinian Plough by William Simpson. It changed hands for a price of GBP 937.50 (€ 1,084.32) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel, Science and Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit Trial of two prisoners for looting Commissariat Stores; and Abyssinian Plough von William Simpson zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 937,50 (€ 1.084,32) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00. 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).
