Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Lady In Black by Samuel Sidley was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,125.00 (€ 988.66). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Sidley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The challenge in November 2003 with an auction result of GBP 23,900.00 (€ 34,308.80).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Lady In Black von Samuel Sidley im Februar 2019 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 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.125,00 (€ 988,66) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Sidley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The challenge im November 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 23.900,00 (€ 34.308,80).
