Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2012 Christies in London held the auction Victorian & British Impressionist Art, which included the work The Fisher Boy by William McTaggart. The price achieved of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 12,332.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William McTaggart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Past And The Present in August 2008 with an auction result of GBP 133,250.00 (€ 165,234.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Fisher Boy von William McTaggart zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 12.332,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William McTaggart erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Past And The Present im August 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 133.250,00 (€ 165.234,00).
