Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of The Artist'S Father, Three-Quarter-Length, Reading A Newspaper With A Dog On His Lap by William Kennedy was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 240.00 (€ 343.88). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Kennedy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Spring Blossom in August 2008 with an auction result of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,300.22).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of The Artist'S Father, Three-Quarter-Length, Reading A Newspaper With A Dog On His Lap von William Kennedy im März 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 240,00 (€ 343,88) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Kennedy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Spring Blossom im August 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 9.300,22).
