Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price

When the work A Job for Dynamite by William Davidson White was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2002, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 5,019.00 (€ 5,123.52). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Davidson White; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Driving a Great Subway sold at auction in December 2002 with the realized price of USD 8,365.00 (€ 7,978.06).

Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit A Job for Dynamite von William Davidson White im Juli 2002 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 5.019,00 (€ 5.123,52) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von William Davidson White; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Driving a Great Subway im Dezember 2002 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 8.365,00 (€ 7.978,06).
