Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Hillside Flowers by William Lester Stevens for USD 6,875.00 (€ 4,882.47). This price was achieved in the auction Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Lester Stevens - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Logging, which sold at auction in November 2001 for USD 16,450.00 (€ 18,363.47).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im September 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Hillside Flowers von William Lester Stevens für USD 6.875,00 (€ 4.882,47) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 7.000,00 – 10.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Lester Stevens mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Logging beobachtet, die im November 2001 für USD 16.450,00 (€ 18.363,47) versteigert wurde.
