Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Portrait Miniature of a Gentleman by Mary Way was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2005. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 10,200.00 (€ 7,816.69) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mary Way - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Miniature of a Lady, which sold at auction in January 2005 for USD 22,800.00 (€ 17,472.60).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A Portrait Miniature of a Gentleman von Mary Way kam im Januar 2005 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 10.200,00 (€ 7.816,69) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Mary Way mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Miniature of a Lady beobachtet, die im Januar 2005 für USD 22.800,00 (€ 17.472,60) versteigert wurde.
