Auction result well in line with expectations
In June last year Sothebys in London held the auction Modern British Day Auction, which included the work White Yacht off the Breton Coast by Christopher Wood. The price achieved of GBP 151,200.00 (€ 175,651.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Christopher Wood - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Drying Sails, Mousehole, Cornwall, which sold at auction in June last year for GBP 479,100.00 (€ 556,577.92).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern British Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit White Yacht off the Breton Coast von Christopher Wood zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 151.200,00 (€ 175.651,39) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Christopher Wood mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Drying Sails, Mousehole, Cornwall beobachtet, die im Juni letzten Jahres für GBP 479.100,00 (€ 556.577,92) versteigert wurde.
