Sold at the lower estimate price
In April 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture, which included the work Deep In The Woods by William Bliss Baker. The result of USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,479.48) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Bliss Baker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A quiet pond, which sold at auction in March 2004 for USD 19,120.00 (€ 15,554.83).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im April 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Deep In The Woods von William Bliss Baker zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.479,48) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Bliss Baker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A quiet pond beobachtet, die im März 2004 für USD 19.120,00 (€ 15.554,83) versteigert wurde.
