Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Marine Melody by Frank Harmon Myers was auctioned at Bonhams in February this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 637.50 (€ 601.30). Admittedly, works by Frank Harmon Myers have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Woodchopper in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 6,325.00 (€ 5,430.58).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Marine Melody von Frank Harmon Myers im Februar diesen Jahres bei Bonhams versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 637,50 (€ 601,30) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Frank Harmon Myers auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Woodchopper im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.325,00 (€ 5.430,58).
