A top price for William Wetmore Story - as previously expected

In October 2018 Christies in New York held the auction European Art: Part I, which included the work Dalilah by William Wetmore Story. The price achieved of USD 250,000.00 (€ 220,614.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Dalilah is the most expensive artwork by William Wetmore Story that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Oktober 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion European Art: Part I durch, in der auch die Arbeit Dalilah von William Wetmore Story zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 250.000,00 (€ 220.614,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Dalilah das teuerste Kunstwerk von William Wetmore Story, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
