Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Ray Swanson could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Majestic America: Property from an Important Western Collector, Part II auction, the work Watching The Flock changed hands for USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,047.35) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ray Swanson konnte im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Majestic America: Property from an Important Western Collector, Part II wechselte die Arbeit Watching The Flock für USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.047,35) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00.
