Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2008 Christies in Beverly Hills held the auction California, Western and American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture, which included the work Mt. Davidson, Virginia City, Nevada by Arthur Meltzer. The price achieved of USD 5,625.00 (€ 4,435.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Meltzer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Haying in Nevada, which sold at auction in October 2008 for USD 13,750.00 (€ 10,842.14).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2008 führte Christies in Beverly Hills die Auktion California, Western and American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mt. Davidson, Virginia City, Nevada von Arthur Meltzer zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.625,00 (€ 4.435,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur Meltzer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Haying in Nevada beobachtet, die im Oktober 2008 für USD 13.750,00 (€ 10.842,14) versteigert wurde.
