Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
The work "Beer street" by William Hogarth was worth SEK 105,000.00 (€ 10,284.69) to a buyer in September 2009. This price was achieved in the auction Ingmar Bergman H022 at Bukowski in Stockholm and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of SEK 15,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Hogarth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Pugilist: A Quarterstaff Player, almost certainly James Figg (1684-1734) in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 375,000.00 (€ 418,908.42).

Die Arbeit "Beer street" von William Hogarth war einem Käufer im September 2009 SEK 105.000,00 (€ 10.284,69) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Ingmar Bergman H022 bei Bukowski in Stockholm erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von SEK 15.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Hogarth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Pugilist: A Quarterstaff Player, almost certainly James Figg (1684-1734) im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 375.000,00 (€ 418.908,42).
