Auction result well in line with expectations
The work General Winfield Scott's Artillery Troops by James Walker was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in December 2002. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 31,070.00 (€ 29,632.81) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Walker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Decisive Battle for Los Angeles, which sold at auction in January 2020 for USD 68,750.00 (€ 61,976.02).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit General Winfield Scott's Artillery Troops von James Walker wurde im Dezember 2002 in der Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 31.070,00 (€ 29.632,81) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von James Walker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Decisive Battle for Los Angeles beobachtet, die im Januar 2020 für USD 68.750,00 (€ 61.976,02) versteigert wurde.
