A top price for Eleanor Parke Custis
When the work On the Ways-Gloucester by Eleanor Parke Custis was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in November last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 7,012.50 (€ 6,793.08). This high result makes On the Ways-Gloucester the most expensive artwork by Eleanor Parke Custis that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Eleanor Parke Custis
Als die Arbeit On the Ways-Gloucester von Eleanor Parke Custis im November letzten Jahres 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 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 7.012,50 (€ 6.793,08) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht On the Ways-Gloucester zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Eleanor Parke Custis, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
