Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Lake Powell - Utah by George Booth Post was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 892.50 (€ 756.36). Other works by George Booth Post have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in December last year by the work Laguna Cliffs 18 x 24 in. framed 29 3/4 x 36 in. at USD 1,020.00 (€ 953.45).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Lake Powell - Utah von George Booth Post im August 2021 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 892,50 (€ 756,36) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von George Booth Post wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Dezember letzten Jahres die Arbeit Laguna Cliffs 18 x 24 in. framed 29 3/4 x 36 in. mit USD 1.020,00 (€ 953,45).
