Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Ray Swanson could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Majestic America: Property from an Important Western Collector, Part II auction, the work Watching The Flock changed hands for USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,047.35) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ray Swanson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Headin' Through Dry Country in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 97,000.00 (€ 62,339.33).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ray Swanson konnte im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Majestic America: Property from an Important Western Collector, Part II wechselte die Arbeit Watching The Flock für USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.047,35) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ray Swanson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Headin' Through Dry Country im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 97.000,00 (€ 62.339,33).
