Auction result well in line with expectations
The work American Elk by William Jacob Hays the Elder was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2012. The price achieved of USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,724.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Jacob Hays the Elder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Buffalo Hunt in December 2002 with an auction result of USD 59,750.00 (€ 56,986.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit American Elk von William Jacob Hays the Elder kam im April 2012 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.724,47) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Jacob Hays the Elder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Buffalo Hunt im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 59.750,00 (€ 56.986,17).
