Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work A Winter Idyll by Walter Launt Palmer was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 11,250.00 (€ 9,554.95). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter Launt Palmer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Winter Forest in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 198,000.00 (€ 147,179.07).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit A Winter Idyll von Walter Launt Palmer im Juli 2020 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 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 11.250,00 (€ 9.554,95) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter Launt Palmer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Winter Forest im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 198.000,00 (€ 147.179,07).
