Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction American Art, which included the work West Point and Vicinity by John Marin. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,160.00 (€ 11,147.78) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Marin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lobster Boat, Cape Split, Maine in April this year with an auction result of USD 1,925,500.00 (€ 1,744,112.32).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit West Point and Vicinity von John Marin zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 12.160,00 (€ 11.147,78) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Marin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lobster Boat, Cape Split, Maine im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.925.500,00 (€ 1.744.112,32).
