Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ethelinda And James by Willard Leroy Metcalf was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 162,500.00 (€ 144,624.42) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willard Leroy Metcalf - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work October Festival, which sold at auction in May 2014 for USD 545,000.00 (€ 399,560.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ethelinda And James von Willard Leroy Metcalf wurde im Mai 2017 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 162.500,00 (€ 144.624,42) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Willard Leroy Metcalf mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit October Festival beobachtet, die im Mai 2014 für USD 545.000,00 (€ 399.560,12) versteigert wurde.
