Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Selected Images Of Snowflakes by Wilson A. Bentley. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 7,416.70) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wilson A. Bentley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Selected Images Of Snowflakes, which sold at auction in October 2007 for USD 32,200.00 (€ 22,256.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Selected Images Of Snowflakes von Wilson A. Bentley zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 7.416,70) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Wilson A. Bentley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Selected Images Of Snowflakes beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für USD 32.200,00 (€ 22.256,01) versteigert wurde.
