Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Matthew Prior could be acquired at Christies in New York in October 2002 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important American Furniture, Silver, Prints and Folk Art auction, the work Young Boy with a Riding Crop changed hands for USD 7,170.00 (€ 7,256.35) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Matthew Prior achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Group of Family Portraits in January 2005 with an auction result of USD 156,000.00 (€ 119,549.39).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Matthew Prior konnte im Oktober 2002 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important American Furniture, Silver, Prints and Folk Art wechselte die Arbeit Young Boy with a Riding Crop für USD 7.170,00 (€ 7.256,35) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Matthew Prior erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Group of Family Portraits im Januar 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 156.000,00 (€ 119.549,39).
