Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Mount Merino by Arthur Parton was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,522.04). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Parton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lake Scene, which sold at auction in September 2020 for USD 32,760.00 (€ 27,956.99).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mount Merino von Arthur Parton im Januar 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.522,04) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur Parton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lake Scene beobachtet, die im September 2020 für USD 32.760,00 (€ 27.956,99) versteigert wurde.
