Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2008 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work Kwan Yin by Harry Willson Watrous. The price achieved of USD 11,875.00 (€ 8,433.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Admittedly, works by Harry Willson Watrous have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Dregs in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 67,000.00 (€ 46,309.10).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2008 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kwan Yin von Harry Willson Watrous zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 11.875,00 (€ 8.433,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Harry Willson Watrous auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Dregs im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 67.000,00 (€ 46.309,10).
