Auction result well in line with expectations

In November 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Scottish Art, which included the work Spring Structure by William Gear. The price achieved of GBP 9,450.00 (€ 10,549.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Gear - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Summer afternoon, which sold at auction in June 2015 for GBP 20,000.00 (€ 28,199.75).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im November 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Scottish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Spring Structure von William Gear zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 9.450,00 (€ 10.549,39) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William Gear mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Summer afternoon beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für GBP 20.000,00 (€ 28.199,75) versteigert wurde.
