Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work An Ocean View by William Trost Richards was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 23,750.00 (€ 21,338.72). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Trost Richards achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mackerel Cove, Jamestown, Rhode Island in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 1,650,500.00 (€ 1,148,094.05).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit An Ocean View von William Trost Richards im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 23.750,00 (€ 21.338,72) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Trost Richards erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mackerel Cove, Jamestown, Rhode Island im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.650.500,00 (€ 1.148.094,05).
