Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Children at the Well by William Keith was worth USD 27,500.00 (€ 23,039.54) to a buyer in August 2020. This price was achieved in the auction American Art Online at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Keith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Yosemite Valley in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 755,000.00 (€ 581,305.82).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Children at the Well von William Keith war einem Käufer im August 2020 USD 27.500,00 (€ 23.039,54) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion American Art Online bei Christies in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Keith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Yosemite Valley im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 755.000,00 (€ 581.305,82).
