Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ironwood in Bloom by James Swinnerton was sold in the Western Art auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in February 2021. The price achieved of USD 4,462.50 (€ 3,690.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Swinnerton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Kiva in the desert, which sold at auction in April last year for USD 14,025.00 (€ 13,310.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ironwood in Bloom von James Swinnerton wurde im Februar 2021 in der Auktion Western Art bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert.

Für andere Arbeiten von James Swinnerton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Kiva in the desert beobachtet, die im April letzten Jahres für USD 14.025,00 (€ 13.310,24) versteigert wurde.
