Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Lizzie by William McGregor Paxton was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2017. The price achieved of USD 68,750.00 (€ 57,782.82) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William McGregor Paxton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Letter in April 2002 with an auction result of USD 834,500.00 (€ 927,016.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Lizzie von William McGregor Paxton kam im November 2017 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 68.750,00 (€ 57.782,82) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William McGregor Paxton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Letter im April 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 834.500,00 (€ 927.016,22).
