Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Untitled (Milk Bottle In Sink) by Margaret Watkins was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2019. The price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 11,205.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Margaret Watkins - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Domestic Symphony, c. 1920, which sold at auction in October 2018 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 44,122.84).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Untitled (Milk Bottle In Sink) von Margaret Watkins kam im Oktober 2019 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 11.205,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Margaret Watkins mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Domestic Symphony, c. 1920 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 44.122,84) versteigert wurde.
