Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Swing by William James Glackens was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 252,000.00 (€ 206,050.70) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William James Glackens - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Café Lafayette (Portrait of Kay Laurell), which sold at auction in November 2018 for USD 792,500.00 (€ 699,902.85).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Swing von William James Glackens kam im Dezember 2020 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 252.000,00 (€ 206.050,70) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von William James Glackens mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Café Lafayette (Portrait of Kay Laurell) beobachtet, die im November 2018 für USD 792.500,00 (€ 699.902,85) versteigert wurde.
