Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by William McGregor Paxton could be acquired at Christies in New York in September 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Paintings auction, the work Study for "Nausicaa" changed hands for USD 7,500.00 (€ 5,126.45) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von William McGregor Paxton konnte im September 2009 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Paintings wechselte die Arbeit Study for "Nausicaa" für USD 7.500,00 (€ 5.126,45) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. 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).
