Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Howell Gay could be acquired at Christies in New York in February 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Just before Sunset, waves crashing on the shore at Cape Ann changed hands for USD 812.50 (€ 589.07) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Howell Gay - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work High Tide; also a companion watercolor, which sold at auction in August 2005 for USD 2,400.00 (€ 1,946.47).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Howell Gay konnte im Februar 2011 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Just before Sunset, waves crashing on the shore at Cape Ann für USD 812,50 (€ 589,07) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Howell Gay mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit High Tide; also a companion watercolor beobachtet, die im August 2005 für USD 2.400,00 (€ 1.946,47) versteigert wurde.
