Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Hostess Ii by William H. Bailey was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2014, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 46,875.00 (€ 37,119.89). Other works by William H. Bailey have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May 2015 by the work Silent Plain at USD 81,250.00 (€ 73,903.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Hostess Ii von William H. Bailey im September 2014 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 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 46.875,00 (€ 37.119,89) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von William H. Bailey wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Mai 2015 die Arbeit Silent Plain mit USD 81.250,00 (€ 73.903,95).
