Auction result well in line with expectations
In November last year Bonhams in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Greek Dancers (Second Version) by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth. The price achieved of USD 5,355.00 (€ 5,187.45) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Vine in May 2009 with an auction result of USD 962,500.00 (€ 681,367.69).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Greek Dancers (Second Version) von Harriet Whitney Frishmuth zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.355,00 (€ 5.187,45) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Harriet Whitney Frishmuth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Vine im Mai 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 962.500,00 (€ 681.367,69).
