Auction result misses estimated price range
In February 2002 a collector was able to acquire the work Building a Snowman by George Washington Nicholson for USD 2,350.00 (€ 2,714.25). This price was achieved in the auction FINE AMERICAN PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS AND SCULPTURE at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Washington Nicholson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Seascape with Rocks, which sold at auction in January this year for USD 6,120.00 (€ 5,636.40).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Februar 2002 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Building a Snowman von George Washington Nicholson für USD 2.350,00 (€ 2.714,25) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion FINE AMERICAN PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS AND SCULPTURE bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Washington Nicholson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Seascape with Rocks beobachtet, die im Januar diesen Jahres für USD 6.120,00 (€ 5.636,40) versteigert wurde.
