Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Burning Oil Well At Night, Near Titusville, Pennsylvania by James Hamilton was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2019. The price achieved of USD 6,875.00 (€ 6,123.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Hamilton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dragging the Nets, which sold at auction in January 2001 for USD 12,925.00 (€ 13,885.90).
