Despite a disappointment, a good price for William Strutt
In April 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work British A Sound Investment by William Strutt for AUD 48,000.00 (€ 29,041.11). This price was achieved in the auction Important Paintings at Sothebys in Sydney and was even below the estimate range of AUD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, British A Sound Investment is the most expensive artwork by William Strutt that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für William Strutt
Im April 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit British A Sound Investment von William Strutt für AUD 48.000,00 (€ 29.041,11) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Important Paintings bei Sothebys in Sydney erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von AUD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist British A Sound Investment das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Strutt, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
