Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Madonna And Child by Harry Willson Watrous was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,375.00 (€ 1,246.37). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harry Willson Watrous achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Dregs in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 67,000.00 (€ 46,309.10).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Madonna And Child von Harry Willson Watrous im Juni 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.375,00 (€ 1.246,37) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Harry Willson Watrous erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Dregs im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 67.000,00 (€ 46.309,10).
