Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2000 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work Thomas Strong's House, Setauket, Long Island by William Sidney Mount. The price achieved of USD 41,125.00 (€ 44,087.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Sidney Mount achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Ramblers in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 2,281,000.00 (€ 1,465,938.30).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2000 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Thomas Strong's House, Setauket, Long Island von William Sidney Mount zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 41.125,00 (€ 44.087,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Sidney Mount erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Ramblers im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.281.000,00 (€ 1.465.938,30).
