Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Christopher Wilmarth could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March 2017 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Curated featuring works from “In Its Own Light: Property from the Collection of Ed Cohen and Victoria Shaw” auction, the work City Willows #3 changed hands for USD 47,500.00 (€ 44,400.82) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Christopher Wilmarth - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Street Leaf #4, which sold at auction in November 2007 for USD 229,000.00 (€ 155,909.59).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Christopher Wilmarth konnte im März 2017 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Curated featuring works from “In Its Own Light: Property from the Collection of Ed Cohen and Victoria Shaw” wechselte die Arbeit City Willows #3 für USD 47.500,00 (€ 44.400,82) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Christopher Wilmarth mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Street Leaf #4 beobachtet, die im November 2007 für USD 229.000,00 (€ 155.909,59) versteigert wurde.
