Auction result misses estimated price range

In May this year a collector was able to acquire the work The (American) Ancestors by William Sharp for USD 102.00 (€ 95.74). This price was achieved in the auction Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner at Bonhams and was even below the estimate range of USD 150.00 – 200.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Sharp achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Watching Over his Sister in January 2000 with an auction result of USD 2,760.00 (€ 2,828.74).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Mai diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The (American) Ancestors von William Sharp für USD 102,00 (€ 95,74) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner bei Bonhams erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 150,00 – 200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Sharp erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Watching Over his Sister im Januar 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.760,00 (€ 2.828,74).
