Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2018 Christies in New York held the auction Beyond Imagination: Outsider and Vernacular Art Featuring the Collection of Marjorie and Harvey Freed, which included the work Nurse Wootton by William Edmondson. The price achieved of USD 112,500.00 (€ 90,521.40) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 150,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Edmondson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Boxer, Circa 1936 in January 2016 with an auction result of USD 785,000.00 (€ 724,704.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Beyond Imagination: Outsider and Vernacular Art Featuring the Collection of Marjorie and Harvey Freed durch, in der auch die Arbeit Nurse Wootton von William Edmondson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 112.500,00 (€ 90.521,40) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Edmondson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Boxer, Circa 1936 im Januar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 785.000,00 (€ 724.704,58).
