Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work Ploughing by Thomas Hart Benton. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,408.00 (€ 1,289.38), 17% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Hart Benton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nashaquitsa in November last year with an auction result of USD 5,580,000.00 (€ 5,405,405.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ploughing von Thomas Hart Benton zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.408,00 (€ 1.289,38) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Hart Benton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nashaquitsa im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.580.000,00 (€ 5.405.405,41).
