This artwork by Thomas Wilmer Dewing achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2005. In the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work Lady in a Lavender Dress sold for USD 132,000.00 (€ 106,891.25) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Wilmer Dewing achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The White Birch in May 2016 with an auction result of USD 1,810,000.00 (€ 1,625,505.16).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Wilmer Dewing erzielte im Mai 2005 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture wurde die Arbeit Lady in a Lavender Dress für USD 132.000,00 (€ 106.891,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Wilmer Dewing erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The White Birch im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.810.000,00 (€ 1.625.505,16).
