Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Radish Girl by William Tylee Ranney was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 43,750.00 (€ 39,241.19). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Tylee Ranney achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Lazy Fisherman in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 662,500.00 (€ 475,968.10).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Radish Girl von William Tylee Ranney im Mai 2019 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 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 43.750,00 (€ 39.241,19) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Tylee Ranney erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Lazy Fisherman im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 662.500,00 (€ 475.968,10).
