Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2010 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture, which included the work The Buttonwood Grove by William Tylee Ranney. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 31,250.00 (€ 23,103.65) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2010 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Buttonwood Grove von William Tylee Ranney zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 23.103,65) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
