Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October last year Christies in London held the auction Modern British & Irish Art Evening Sale, which included the work Three and One No. 1 by William Scott. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 289,800.00 (€ 337,613.79), 16% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by William Scott have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Bowl, Eggs and Lemons in June 2008 with an auction result of GBP 1,071,650.00 (€ 1,354,601.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British & Irish Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Three and One No. 1 von William Scott zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 289.800,00 (€ 337.613,79) und damit 16% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Scott auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Bowl, Eggs and Lemons im Juni 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.071.650,00 (€ 1.354.601,53).
