Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Steady, Woodcock Shooting by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait was sold in the American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2015. The price achieved of USD 40,000.00 (€ 36,225.32) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Check--Keep Your Distance in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 2,841,000.00 (€ 1,934,232.03).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Steady, Woodcock Shooting von Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait wurde im Oktober 2015 in der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 40.000,00 (€ 36.225,32) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Check--Keep Your Distance im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.841.000,00 (€ 1.934.232,03).
