A top price for William Samuel Schwartz - as previously expected
The work Sun Bathers by William Samuel Schwartz was sold in the CALIFORNIA, WESTERN AND AMERICAN PAINTINGS auction at Christies in Los Angeles in November 2001. The price achieved of USD 47,000.00 (€ 52,467.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Sun Bathers is the most expensive artwork by William Samuel Schwartz that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Sun Bathers von William Samuel Schwartz wurde im November 2001 in der Auktion CALIFORNIA, WESTERN AND AMERICAN PAINTINGS bei Christies in Los Angeles versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 47.000,00 (€ 52.467,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Sun Bathers das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Samuel Schwartz, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
