Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Woman Reading by Walter Shirlaw was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,600.00 (€ 2,985.57). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Walter Shirlaw - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mother And Daughter, which sold at auction in March 2005 for USD 8,400.00 (€ 6,476.98).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Woman Reading von Walter Shirlaw im September 2005 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.600,00 (€ 2.985,57) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Walter Shirlaw mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mother And Daughter beobachtet, die im März 2005 für USD 8.400,00 (€ 6.476,98) versteigert wurde.
