Sold at the lower estimate price

In June 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Boy Drinking From A Barrel by David Gilmour Blythe. The result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 26,711.78) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Admittedly, works by David Gilmour Blythe have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Family Prayers and The Sequel: A Pair of Works in January 2024 with an auction result of USD 252,000.00 (€ 220,241.22).

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Im Juni 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Boy Drinking From A Barrel von David Gilmour Blythe zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 26.711,78) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von David Gilmour Blythe auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Family Prayers and The Sequel: A Pair of Works im Januar 2024 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 252.000,00 (€ 220.241,22).
