Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2013 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work What Have I Forgot? by William Sidney Mount. The price achieved of USD 52,500.00 (€ 38,101.46) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. 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 Dezember 2013 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit What Have I Forgot? von William Sidney Mount zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 52.500,00 (€ 38.101,46) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 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).
