Auction result well in line with expectations

In April 2002 Christies in New York held the auction The House Sale, which included the work The Day's Bag by William R. C. Watson. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,055.00 (€ 3,393.69) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William R. C. Watson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sheep grazing by a loch, which sold at auction in October 2008 for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 11,153.11).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April 2002 führte Christies in New York die Auktion The House Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Day's Bag von William R. C. Watson zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.055,00 (€ 3.393,69) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von William R. C. Watson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sheep grazing by a loch beobachtet, die im Oktober 2008 für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 11.153,11) versteigert wurde.
