Despite a disappointment, a good price for William Skilling
When the work A red bird with wings outstretched, and other exotic birds in a cage by William Skilling was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 625.00 (€ 566.53). Despite this disappointing result, A red bird with wings outstretched, and other exotic birds in a cage is the most expensive artwork by William Skilling that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für William Skilling
Als die Arbeit A red bird with wings outstretched, and other exotic birds in a cage von William Skilling im Juni 2016 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 625,00 (€ 566,53) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist A red bird with wings outstretched, and other exotic birds in a cage das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Skilling, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
