Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Black Ball Line clipper ship Ocean Chief reducing sail on her Australian run by Samuel Walters was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 28,800.00 (€ 22,157.25). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel Walters - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Confederate blockade runner C.S.S COLONEL LAMB at sea, which sold at auction in February 2004 for USD 77,675.00 (€ 62,434.69).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Black Ball Line clipper ship Ocean Chief reducing sail on her Australian run von Samuel Walters im Januar 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 28.800,00 (€ 22.157,25) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Samuel Walters mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Confederate blockade runner C.S.S COLONEL LAMB at sea beobachtet, die im Februar 2004 für USD 77.675,00 (€ 62.434,69) versteigert wurde.
