Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Into Orbit by Frank Avray Wilson was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2016. The price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,891.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frank Avray Wilson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Wish, which sold at auction in March 2012 for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,982.23).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Into Orbit von Frank Avray Wilson kam im März 2016 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.891,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Frank Avray Wilson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Wish beobachtet, die im März 2012 für GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.982,23) versteigert wurde.
