Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Intruder by Bessie Potter Vonnoh was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in May 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 16,562.00 (€ 13,582.09). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bessie Potter Vonnoh achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Water Nymph': A Fountain in December 2002 with an auction result of USD 147,000.00 (€ 140,200.29).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Intruder von Bessie Potter Vonnoh im Mai 2021 bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 16.562,00 (€ 13.582,09) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bessie Potter Vonnoh erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Water Nymph': A Fountain im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 147.000,00 (€ 140.200,29).
