Auction result well in line with expectations
The work White Island Light, Isles of Shoals by Childe Hassam was sold in the American Art auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in November this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 51,200.00 (€ 46,938.03) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Childe Hassam achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flags On 57Th Street, Winter 1918 in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 12,328,500.00 (€ 10,110,300.15).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit White Island Light, Isles of Shoals von Childe Hassam wurde im November diesen Jahres in der Auktion American Art bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 51.200,00 (€ 46.938,03) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Childe Hassam erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flags On 57Th Street, Winter 1918 im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.328.500,00 (€ 10.110.300,15).
