Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Karnak by William Tucker was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 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 6,000.00 (€ 7,303.39). Other works by William Tucker have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in July 2007 by the work Beulah Xii at GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,911.39).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Karnak von William Tucker im April 2014 bei Sothebys 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 6.000,00 (€ 7.303,39) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von William Tucker wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Juli 2007 die Arbeit Beulah Xii mit GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.911,39).
