Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work For We Walk By Faith Not By Sight by Mary Proctor was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 6,875.00 (€ 5,092.59). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Mary Proctor; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot I Met a Wise Old Man That Said if American Turn from God We Will Have Hard Days and Hard Nights and if You Make Your Bed Hard You Will Lay in It, 1995 sold at auction in September 2014 with the realized price of USD 6,875.00 (€ 5,444.25).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit For We Walk By Faith Not By Sight von Mary Proctor im Januar 2014 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 6.875,00 (€ 5.092,59) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Mary Proctor; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit I Met a Wise Old Man That Said if American Turn from God We Will Have Hard Days and Hard Nights and if You Make Your Bed Hard You Will Lay in It, 1995 im September 2014 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 6.875,00 (€ 5.444,25).
