A top price for Mary Curtis Richardson - as previously expected

In December 2021 Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction California and Western Art Online, which included the work Girl Reading by Mary Curtis Richardson. The price achieved of USD 1,912.50 (€ 1,689.79) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Girl Reading is the most expensive artwork by Mary Curtis Richardson that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Dezember 2021 führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion California and Western Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Girl Reading von Mary Curtis Richardson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.912,50 (€ 1.689,79) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Girl Reading das teuerste Kunstwerk von Mary Curtis Richardson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
