Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work In The Woods by Arthur Parton was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 13,750.00 (€ 12,452.45). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Parton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lake Scene, which sold at auction in September 2020 for USD 32,760.00 (€ 27,956.99).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit In The Woods von Arthur Parton im Oktober 2015 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 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 13.750,00 (€ 12.452,45) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur Parton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lake Scene beobachtet, die im September 2020 für USD 32.760,00 (€ 27.956,99) versteigert wurde.
