Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A sleepy hamlet by Wilmot Pilsbury was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 336.00 (€ 499.04) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wilmot Pilsbury - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A woman at the door of a half-timbered cottage, with ducks in the garden, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 775.50 (€ 1,244.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A sleepy hamlet von Wilmot Pilsbury kam im Juli 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 336,00 (€ 499,04) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Wilmot Pilsbury mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A woman at the door of a half-timbered cottage, with ducks in the garden beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für GBP 775,50 (€ 1.244,39) versteigert wurde.
