Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2018 Christies in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work The 'Gazelle' Entering The Mersey by Samuel Walters. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 35,000.00 – 45,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 37,500.00 (€ 31,058.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The 'Gazelle' Entering The Mersey von Samuel Walters zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 35.000,00 – 45.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 31.058,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
