Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work 'Colorado River From Plateau' by Arthur Wesley Dow. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 5,976.90) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Wesley Dow - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Moon Over The Hill, which sold at auction in October 2014 for USD 23,750.00 (€ 18,954.51).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2013 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Colorado River From Plateau' von Arthur Wesley Dow zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 5.976,90) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur Wesley Dow mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Moon Over The Hill beobachtet, die im Oktober 2014 für USD 23.750,00 (€ 18.954,51) versteigert wurde.
