Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Shenandoah Valley, Va., 1939 by Marion Post Wolcott. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 2,640.00 (€ 2,213.84) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Marion Post Wolcott have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Vegetable pickers, migrants, waiting after work to be paid, near Homestead, Florida, Feb 1939 in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 21,420.00 (€ 18,542.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Shenandoah Valley, Va., 1939 von Marion Post Wolcott zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 2.640,00 (€ 2.213,84) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Marion Post Wolcott auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Vegetable pickers, migrants, waiting after work to be paid, near Homestead, Florida, Feb 1939 im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 21.420,00 (€ 18.542,24).
