Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Young Girl At The Seashore by Samuel S. Carr was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,635.40). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel S. Carr - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Beach at Coney Island, which sold at auction in May 2011 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 34,780.19).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Young Girl At The Seashore von Samuel S. Carr im Dezember 2011 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.635,40) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Samuel S. Carr mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Beach at Coney Island beobachtet, die im Mai 2011 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 34.780,19) versteigert wurde.
