Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work The Lime Burner by James Abbott McNeill Whistler was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Boston in January 2024, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 4,864.00 (€ 4,251.01). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Abbott McNeill Whistler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Whistler Smoking in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 1,200,000.00 (€ 1,063,170.02).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Lime Burner von James Abbott McNeill Whistler im Januar 2024 bei Bonhams in Skinner Boston versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 4.864,00 (€ 4.251,01) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Abbott McNeill Whistler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Whistler Smoking im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.200.000,00 (€ 1.063.170,02).
