Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2019 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Nantucket Shore by William Trost Richards. Here, the upper estimate of USD 300,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 325,000.00 (€ 291,505.96). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Trost Richards - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mackerel Cove, Jamestown, Rhode Island, which sold at auction in May 2011 for USD 1,650,500.00 (€ 1,148,094.05).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Nantucket Shore von William Trost Richards zur Versteigerung kam.

Für andere Arbeiten von William Trost Richards mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mackerel Cove, Jamestown, Rhode Island beobachtet, die im Mai 2011 für USD 1.650.500,00 (€ 1.148.094,05) versteigert wurde.
