Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Minerva Reflecting by William Holbrook Beard was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2009. The result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 10,618.72) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Holbrook Beard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bears Picnic in January this year with an auction result of USD 151,200.00 (€ 139,252.16).

Die Arbeit Minerva Reflecting von William Holbrook Beard kam im Mai 2009 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 10.618,72) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Holbrook Beard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bears Picnic im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 151.200,00 (€ 139.252,16).
