Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2019 a collector was able to acquire the work The Headwaters of the Owens River by William Keith for USD 68,750.00 (€ 62,392.23). This price was achieved in the auction American Art at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by William Keith have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Yosemite Valley in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 755,000.00 (€ 581,305.82).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2019 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Headwaters of the Owens River von William Keith für USD 68.750,00 (€ 62.392,23) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Art bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Keith auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Yosemite Valley im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 755.000,00 (€ 581.305,82).
