The work Clearing Weather 30 x 40 in. framed 32 x 42 in. by William Merritt Post was sold in the California and Western Art Online auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in December last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,825.00 (€ 3,575.43), 53% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Merritt Post - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Autumn River Landscape, which sold at auction in October 2000 for USD 11,750.00 (€ 13,846.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 53 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Clearing Weather 30 x 40 in. framed 32 x 42 in. von William Merritt Post wurde im Dezember letzten Jahres in der Auktion California and Western Art Online bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 3.825,00 (€ 3.575,43) und damit 53% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von William Merritt Post mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Autumn River Landscape beobachtet, die im Oktober 2000 für USD 11.750,00 (€ 13.846,34) versteigert wurde.
