Sold at the lower estimate price
In September 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work The Plain, Late Afternoon by William Anderson Coffin. The result of USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,219.71) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Anderson Coffin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Mandolin Player, which sold at auction in September 2005 for USD 15,600.00 (€ 12,937.47).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im September 2007 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Plain, Late Afternoon von William Anderson Coffin zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.219,71) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Anderson Coffin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Mandolin Player beobachtet, die im September 2005 für USD 15.600,00 (€ 12.937,47) versteigert wurde.
