Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Schooners in Gloucester Harbor by Winslow Homer was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 350,000.00 (€ 317,633.18). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Winslow Homer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Where are the Boats? in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 4,572,500.00 (€ 3,918,166.24).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Schooners in Gloucester Harbor von Winslow Homer im November 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 350.000,00 (€ 317.633,18) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Winslow Homer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Where are the Boats? im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.572.500,00 (€ 3.918.166,24).
