Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Mill Pond by Maxfield Parrish was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 800,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 2,420,000.00 (€ 2,196,206.55). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Maxfield Parrish - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hilltop, which sold at auction in November last year for USD 6,660,000.00 (€ 6,451,612.90).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mill Pond von Maxfield Parrish im November 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 800.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 2.420.000,00 (€ 2.196.206,55) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Maxfield Parrish mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Hilltop beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für USD 6.660.000,00 (€ 6.451.612,90) versteigert wurde.
