Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Young Paraders in a Front Populaire Procession outside Père Lachaise, Paris, May 1936 by Maynard Owen Williams was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,187.50 (€ 900.58). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Maynard Owen Williams - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Citroen-Haardt Trans-Asiatic Expedition, Herat, Afghanistan, May 21, 1931, which sold at auction in December 2012 for USD 2,750.00 (€ 2,085.55).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Young Paraders in a Front Populaire Procession outside Père Lachaise, Paris, May 1936 von Maynard Owen Williams im Dezember 2012 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.187,50 (€ 900,58) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Maynard Owen Williams mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Citroen-Haardt Trans-Asiatic Expedition, Herat, Afghanistan, May 21, 1931 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2012 für USD 2.750,00 (€ 2.085,55) versteigert wurde.
