Auction result well in line with expectations

In March 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art Online, which included the work Joy Of The Waters by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 112,500.00 (€ 102,003.81) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Vine in May 2009 with an auction result of USD 962,500.00 (€ 681,367.69).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Joy Of The Waters von Harriet Whitney Frishmuth zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 112.500,00 (€ 102.003,81) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Harriet Whitney Frishmuth auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Vine im Mai 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 962.500,00 (€ 681.367,69).
