Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Street in Charleston, S.C., c. 1940 by Marion Post Wolcott was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 625.00 (€ 439.55). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marion Post Wolcott achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Vegetable pickers, migrants, waiting after work to be paid, near Homestead, Florida, Feb 1939 in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 21,420.00 (€ 18,542.24).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Street in Charleston, S.C., c. 1940 von Marion Post Wolcott im September 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 625,00 (€ 439,55) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marion Post Wolcott erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Vegetable pickers, migrants, waiting after work to be paid, near Homestead, Florida, Feb 1939 im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 21.420,00 (€ 18.542,24).
