Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Fishing Boats Off Briel by William Simson was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2014, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,370.89). Other works by William Simson have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in March 2004 by the work The death of Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, in the Tower, 1483 Oh, thus, quoth Dighton, lay the gentle babes. Thus, thus, quoth Forrest, girdling one another. at GBP 6,572.50 (€ 9,838.43).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Fishing Boats Off Briel von William Simson im Juni 2014 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 7.500,00 (€ 9.370,89) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von William Simson wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im März 2004 die Arbeit The death of Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, in the Tower, 1483 Oh, thus, quoth Dighton, lay the gentle babes. Thus, thus, quoth Forrest, girdling one another. mit GBP 6.572,50 (€ 9.838,43).
