Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Flowers In A Garden by Theodore Earl Butler was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2014, 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 23,750.00 (€ 17,123.29). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Theodore Earl Butler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flag Day in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 552,500.00 (€ 487,944.89).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Flowers In A Garden von Theodore Earl Butler im April 2014 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 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 23.750,00 (€ 17.123,29) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Theodore Earl Butler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flag Day im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 552.500,00 (€ 487.944,89).
