Sold at the lower estimate price
In October 2008 Christies in Beverly Hills held the auction California, Western and American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture, which included the work Ships at Dock by Lillian Burk Meeser. The result of USD 4,000.00 (€ 3,154.08) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lillian Burk Meeser - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Chinese Vase, which sold at auction in March 2008 for USD 11,250.00 (€ 7,118.00).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Oktober 2008 führte Christies in Beverly Hills die Auktion California, Western and American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ships at Dock von Lillian Burk Meeser zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 4.000,00 (€ 3.154,08) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Lillian Burk Meeser mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Chinese Vase beobachtet, die im März 2008 für USD 11.250,00 (€ 7.118,00) versteigert wurde.
