In September 2004 Christies in New York held the auction THE HOUSE SALE, which included the work View of Providence From Warwick Heights by George William Whitaker. The »bidding war« ended at USD 2,270.50 (€ 1,828.54), 51% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by George William Whitaker; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Still Life with Fruit and a Bottle sold at auction in April 2007 with the realized price of USD 2,640.00 (€ 1,932.65).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen
Im September 2004 führte Christies in New York die Auktion THE HOUSE SALE durch, in der auch die Arbeit View of Providence From Warwick Heights von George William Whitaker zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 2.270,50 (€ 1.828,54) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von George William Whitaker; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Still Life with Fruit and a Bottle im April 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 2.640,00 (€ 1.932,65).
