Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A farmer's wife tending to the livestock by Willy Martens was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2001. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,880.00 (€ 3,038.35) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willy Martens - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sur la veranda: a seductive glance, which sold at auction in October 2003 for EUR 10,755.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A farmer's wife tending to the livestock von Willy Martens kam im Oktober 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.880,00 (€ 3.038,35) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00.
