Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Charles Ephraim Burchfield could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in July 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Ginny Williams Collection: Part II auction, the work Houses changed hands for USD 16,250.00 (€ 13,801.60) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Ephraim Burchfield achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cherry Blossom Snow in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,812,500.00 (€ 1,553,127.68).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles Ephraim Burchfield konnte im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Ginny Williams Collection: Part II wechselte die Arbeit Houses für USD 16.250,00 (€ 13.801,60) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Ephraim Burchfield erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cherry Blossom Snow im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.812.500,00 (€ 1.553.127,68).
