Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Looking West From Mount Cadillac, Mount Desert, Maine by Simon Parkes was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,764.91). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Simon Parkes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Middle of Hardings Beach, which sold at auction in May 2021 for USD 7,012.50 (€ 5,750.78).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Looking West From Mount Cadillac, Mount Desert, Maine von Simon Parkes im Oktober 2018 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 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.000,00 (€ 1.764,91) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Simon Parkes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Middle of Hardings Beach beobachtet, die im Mai 2021 für USD 7.012,50 (€ 5.750,78) versteigert wurde.
