Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Ritschel could be acquired at Christies in Beverly Hills in November 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the CALIFORNIA, WESTERN AND AMERICAN PAINTINGS auction, the work Headlands - Carmel Highlands, California changed hands for USD 21,510.00 (€ 16,222.94) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Ritschel have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Pilot on Board in April 2019 with an auction result of USD 137,575.00 (€ 122,823.86).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Ritschel konnte im November 2004 bei Christies in Beverly Hills für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion CALIFORNIA, WESTERN AND AMERICAN PAINTINGS wechselte die Arbeit Headlands - Carmel Highlands, California für USD 21.510,00 (€ 16.222,94) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Ritschel auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Pilot on Board im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 137.575,00 (€ 122.823,86).
