Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Eerie Grotto? Okini by William T. Wiley was auctioned at Phillips in London in January 2024, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 953.00 (€ 1,595.00). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William T. Wiley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ediface Complex, 1981 in June 2020 with an auction result of USD 25,075.00 (€ 22,326.60).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Eerie Grotto? Okini von William T. Wiley im Januar 2024 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 953,00 (€ 1.595,00) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William T. Wiley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ediface Complex, 1981 im Juni 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.075,00 (€ 22.326,60).
