Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Wooded Landscape by William Taverner was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,016.77). Admittedly, works by William Taverner have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work On the outskirts of a town in July 2012 with an auction result of GBP 26,250.00 (€ 33,435.44).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Wooded Landscape von William Taverner im Juli 2011 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.016,77) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Taverner auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit On the outskirts of a town im Juli 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 26.250,00 (€ 33.435,44).
