A top price for Margaret Watkins - as previously expected

In October 2018 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Domestic Symphony, c. 1920 by Margaret Watkins. The price achieved of USD 50,000.00 (€ 44,122.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Domestic Symphony, c. 1920 is the most expensive artwork by Margaret Watkins that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Oktober 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Domestic Symphony, c. 1920 von Margaret Watkins zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 44.122,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Domestic Symphony, c. 1920 das teuerste Kunstwerk von Margaret Watkins, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
