Despite a disappointment, a good price for Reginald Marsh
When the work Merry-Go-Round by Reginald Marsh was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 790,000.00 (€ 747,964.40). Despite this disappointing result, Merry-Go-Round is the most expensive artwork by Reginald Marsh that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Reginald Marsh
Als die Arbeit Merry-Go-Round von Reginald Marsh im November 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 790.000,00 (€ 747.964,40) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Merry-Go-Round das teuerste Kunstwerk von Reginald Marsh, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
