Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by William Trost Richards achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in November last year. In the American Art auction, the work Waves Breaking Against a Rocky Shore sold for USD 7,650.00 (€ 7,410.64) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Trost Richards erzielte im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art wurde die Arbeit Waves Breaking Against a Rocky Shore für USD 7.650,00 (€ 7.410,64) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00. 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).
