Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art, which included the work An Edition De Luxe by John William Godward. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 450,000.00 – 650,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 471,000.00 (€ 517,126.68) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John William Godward - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Far away thoughts, which sold at auction in December 2012 for GBP 1,049,250.00 (€ 1,294,016.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Edition De Luxe von John William Godward zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 450.000,00 – 650.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 471.000,00 (€ 517.126,68) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John William Godward mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Far away thoughts beobachtet, die im Dezember 2012 für GBP 1.049.250,00 (€ 1.294.016,65) versteigert wurde.
