Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Picnic on the Hudson by Robert Walter Weir was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2006. Here, the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 9,000.00 (€ 7,093.88). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Walter Weir achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Greenwich Boat Club in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,202,500.00 (€ 863,927.01).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Picnic on the Hudson von Robert Walter Weir kam im September 2006 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 8.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 9.000,00 (€ 7.093,88) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Walter Weir erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Greenwich Boat Club im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.202.500,00 (€ 863.927,01).
