Auction result well in line with expectations
In March last year Christies in London held the auction Dramas of Light and Land: The Martyn Gregory Collection of British Art, which included the work Leigh Wood, Clifton, Bristol by William Turner of Oxford. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,190.00 (€ 9,710.17) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by William Turner of Oxford have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An April shower in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 31,070.00 (€ 44,601.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Dramas of Light and Land: The Martyn Gregory Collection of British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Leigh Wood, Clifton, Bristol von William Turner of Oxford zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.190,00 (€ 9.710,17) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Turner of Oxford auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An April shower im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 31.070,00 (€ 44.601,44).
