Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2004 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver, Prints and, which included the work Portrait of a Rhode Island Lady by William Kennedy. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 10,755.00 (€ 8,637.17) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by William Kennedy have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in August 2008 the work Spring Blossom was auctioned for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,300.22).
