A top price for Wendell MacRae - as previously expected
In December 2011 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs Including Crossing America: Photographs from The Consolidated Freightways Collection, Part II, which included the work Rockefeller Center, c. 1930 by Wendell MacRae. The result of USD 1,500.00 (€ 1,156.25) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Rockefeller Center, c. 1930 is the most expensive artwork by Wendell MacRae that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Dezember 2011 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs Including Crossing America: Photographs from The Consolidated Freightways Collection, Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit Rockefeller Center, c. 1930 von Wendell MacRae zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 1.500,00 (€ 1.156,25) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Rockefeller Center, c. 1930 das teuerste Kunstwerk von Wendell MacRae, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
