Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work The Reading Of The Declaration Of Independence by Maxfield Parrish. The price achieved of USD 396,500.00 (€ 352,883.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 350,000.00 – 450,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Maxfield Parrish achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hilltop in November last year with an auction result of USD 6,660,000.00 (€ 6,451,612.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2017 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Reading Of The Declaration Of Independence von Maxfield Parrish zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 396.500,00 (€ 352.883,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 350.000,00 – 450.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Maxfield Parrish erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hilltop im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.660.000,00 (€ 6.451.612,90).
