Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Sundial In A Rose Garden by Alfred William Parsons was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 6,875.00 (€ 4,733.87). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfred William Parsons - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work After Work - When The Chill Rain Begins At Shut Of Eve In Dull November, which sold at auction in June 2014 for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 18,741.78).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Sundial In A Rose Garden von Alfred William Parsons im Juni 2011 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 6.875,00 (€ 4.733,87) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Alfred William Parsons mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit After Work - When The Chill Rain Begins At Shut Of Eve In Dull November beobachtet, die im Juni 2014 für GBP 15.000,00 (€ 18.741,78) versteigert wurde.
