MAINE HOUSES
William and Marguerite Zorach spent the summer of 1918 in Stonington, Maine, along with the John Marins and the Bertram Hartmans.  They did not return again until around 1923, after which they began spending summers there regularly, staying in a rented home which they eventually purchased.

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Maine Houses by William Zorach was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2017. The price achieved of USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,589.26) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Zorach achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Spirit of the Dance' in December 2004 with an auction result of USD 365,900.00 (€ 270,276.26).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Maine Houses von William Zorach kam im April 2017 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.589,26) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Zorach erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Spirit of the Dance' im Dezember 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 365.900,00 (€ 270.276,26).
