Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Refugees From The Niagara Frontier (The War Of 1812) by Stanley Arthurs was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 11,875.00 (€ 10,889.50). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Stanley Arthurs; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Waiting at the Ford sold at auction in May 2005 with the realized price of USD 24,000.00 (€ 19,434.77).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Refugees From The Niagara Frontier (The War Of 1812) von Stanley Arthurs im September 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 11.875,00 (€ 10.889,50) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Stanley Arthurs; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Waiting at the Ford im Mai 2005 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 24.000,00 (€ 19.434,77).
