Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Two Centuries: American Art, which included the work Seascape by James Hamilton. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,292.00 (€ 4,581.02) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Two Centuries: American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Seascape von James Hamilton zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.292,00 (€ 4.581,02) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von James Hamilton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Dragging the Nets beobachtet, die im Januar 2001 für USD 12.925,00 (€ 13.885,90) versteigert wurde.
