Portrait of William Weir

Found at Christies, New York
The House Sale, Lot 68
7. Mar - 8. Mar 2006
Estimate: 3.000 - 5.000 USD
Price realised: 6.600 USD
Robert Walter Weir (1803-1889)
Portrait of William Weir
inscribed 'Wm. Weir aged 23 1850 Painted by Robert Weir' (on the reverse)
oil on panel
10 x 7¾ in. (25.4 x 19.7 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 32 %.

In March 2006 Christies in New York held the auction The House Sale, which included the work Portrait of William Weir by Robert Walter Weir. The »bidding war« ended at USD 6,600.00 (€ 5,437.02), 32% above the upper estimate. 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 um 32 % übertroffen

Im März 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion The House Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of William Weir von Robert Walter Weir zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 6.600,00 (€ 5.437,02) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
