Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Elisabeth Writing by Frank Weston Benson was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in June 2020. It changed hands for a price of USD 75,000.00 (€ 66,779.45) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frank Weston Benson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Reader in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 2,887,500.00 (€ 2,729,722.06).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Elisabeth Writing von Frank Weston Benson wurde im Juni 2020 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 75.000,00 (€ 66.779,45) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frank Weston Benson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Reader im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.887.500,00 (€ 2.729.722,06).
