Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Villa Arcomatic, Lake Como by George Henry Smillie was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,077.95). Admittedly, works by George Henry Smillie have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Coastal Scene, New York in March 2007 with an auction result of USD 36,000.00 (€ 26,917.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Villa Arcomatic, Lake Como von George Henry Smillie im Oktober 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.750,00 (€ 4.077,95) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Henry Smillie auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Coastal Scene, New York im März 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 36.000,00 (€ 26.917,90).
