Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Still Life With Overturned Basket Of Apples by Levi Wells Prentice was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 6,875.00 (€ 6,226.23). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Levi Wells Prentice achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work View Of Blue Mountain Lake in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 87,500.00 (€ 78,482.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Still Life With Overturned Basket Of Apples von Levi Wells Prentice im Oktober 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 6.875,00 (€ 6.226,23) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Levi Wells Prentice erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit View Of Blue Mountain Lake im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 78.482,38).
