Auction result well in line with expectations
The work May Day by Maurice Brazil Prendergast was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2018. The price achieved of USD 287,500.00 (€ 253,907.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Maurice Brazil Prendergast achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Stony Beach in May 2001 with an auction result of USD 3,526,000.00 (€ 4,170,313.42).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit May Day von Maurice Brazil Prendergast wurde im November 2018 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 287.500,00 (€ 253.907,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Maurice Brazil Prendergast erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Stony Beach im Mai 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.526.000,00 (€ 4.170.313,42).
