Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Two Proof Impressions of Lighting In by Frank Weston Benson was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in September last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 400.00 – 600.00, the actual price achieved of USD 408.00 (€ 417.05) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 Two Proof Impressions of Lighting In von Frank Weston Benson kam im September letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 408,00 (€ 417,05) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
