Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Paddle Venus 5 by William Turnbull was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2021. The price achieved of GBP 81,900.00 (€ 96,158.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Turnbull achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lotus Totem in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 701,000.00 (€ 988,401.20).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Paddle Venus 5 von William Turnbull kam im November 2021 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 81.900,00 (€ 96.158,31) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Turnbull erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lotus Totem im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 701.000,00 (€ 988.401,20).
