Auction result well in line with expectations
In June last year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Steamer, Lifeboat and Lighthouse by Alfred Wallis. The price achieved of GBP 50,700.00 (€ 58,898.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfred Wallis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work St Ives Bay With Godrevy, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 145,250.00 (€ 180,975.11).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Steamer, Lifeboat and Lighthouse von Alfred Wallis zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 50.700,00 (€ 58.898,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Alfred Wallis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit St Ives Bay With Godrevy beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 145.250,00 (€ 180.975,11) versteigert wurde.
