Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work An Authority by Walter Langley. The price achieved of GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,342.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter Langley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Cousin From Town in December 2006 with an auction result of GBP 176,000.00 (€ 261,206.03).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Authority von Walter Langley zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 13.750,00 (€ 15.342,89) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter Langley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Cousin From Town im Dezember 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 176.000,00 (€ 261.206,03).
