Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Frank Weston Benson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in December last year. In the Studio Art auction, the work High Flying Ducks signed 'FrankWBenson.' in pencil (lower left) 7 7/8 x 6 in. sold for USD 1,530.00 (€ 1,430.17) - well above the upper estimate of USD 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frank Weston Benson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Reader in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 2,887,500.00 (€ 2,729,722.06).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Frank Weston Benson erzielte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Studio Art wurde die Arbeit High Flying Ducks signed 'FrankWBenson.' in pencil (lower left) 7 7/8 x 6 in. für USD 1.530,00 (€ 1.430,17) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 700,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frank Weston Benson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Reader im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.887.500,00 (€ 2.729.722,06).
