A top price for William Darling - as previously expected
The work Clearing Skies by William Darling was sold in the California and Western Art Online auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in December 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,530.00 (€ 1,251.02) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Clearing Skies is the most expensive artwork by William Darling that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Clearing Skies von William Darling wurde im Dezember 2020 in der Auktion California and Western Art Online bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.530,00 (€ 1.251,02) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Clearing Skies das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Darling, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
