Sold at the lower estimate price
In May 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Portrait Of Louise Converse (Mrs. Junius S. Morgan Iii) by William McGregor Paxton. The result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 44,847.07) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Mai 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Louise Converse (Mrs. Junius S. Morgan Iii) von William McGregor Paxton zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 44.847,07) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. 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).
