Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Water Lilies, C. 1915 by George H. Seeley was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in New York in April 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 10,625.00 (€ 8,068.80) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by George H. Seeley have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in October 2008 the work Landscape With Two Figures was auctioned for USD 17,500.00 (€ 13,799.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Water Lilies, C. 1915 von George H. Seeley wurde im April 2013 in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 8.068,80) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Andere Arbeiten von George H. Seeley konnten bereits höhere Auktionspreise erzielen, so wurde im Oktober 2008 die Arbeit Landscape With Two Figures für USD 17.500,00 (€ 13.799,09) versteigert.
