Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work He Posy by John William Godward. The price achieved of USD 118,750.00 (€ 105,734.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John William Godward achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Far away thoughts in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 1,049,250.00 (€ 1,294,016.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit He Posy von John William Godward zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 118.750,00 (€ 105.734,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John William Godward erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Far away thoughts im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.049.250,00 (€ 1.294.016,65).
