Despite a disappointment, a good price for Marsden Hartley

When the work Pre-War Pageant by Marsden Hartley was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000,000.00 – 30,000,001.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 27,395,000.00 (€ 24,194,118.17). Despite this disappointing result, Pre-War Pageant is the most expensive artwork by Marsden Hartley that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Marsden Hartley

Als die Arbeit Pre-War Pageant von Marsden Hartley im November 2018 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 30.000.000,00 – 30.000.001,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 27.395.000,00 (€ 24.194.118,17) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Pre-War Pageant das teuerste Kunstwerk von Marsden Hartley, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
