Auction result well in line with expectations
The work United States Ship Of The Line Coming To The Aid Of Frigate In Distress (Ships In A Stormy Sea) by James Edward Buttersworth was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 16,250.00 (€ 13,189.94) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Edward Buttersworth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Yacht "Magic" Defending America'S Cup, 1870 in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 821,000.00 (€ 660,073.97).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit United States Ship Of The Line Coming To The Aid Of Frigate In Distress (Ships In A Stormy Sea) von James Edward Buttersworth wurde im März 2018 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 16.250,00 (€ 13.189,94) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Edward Buttersworth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Yacht "Magic" Defending America'S Cup, 1870 im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 821.000,00 (€ 660.073,97).
