Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait Of A Family: The Man Holding A Manuscript And Seated Behind His Wife, Who Wears An Ermine Coat And Holds Her Sleeping Infant by Mason Chamberlin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,696.48). Other works by Mason Chamberlin have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in April 2011 by the work Portrait Of A Girl With A Robin at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,300.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Family: The Man Holding A Manuscript And Seated Behind His Wife, Who Wears An Ermine Coat And Holds Her Sleeping Infant von Mason Chamberlin im Mai 2019 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 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.696,48) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Mason Chamberlin wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im April 2011 die Arbeit Portrait Of A Girl With A Robin mit GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.300,30).
