William McGregor Paxton (AMERICAN, 1869-1941)
A woman arranging her hair
signed 'Paxton' (lower right)
charcoal, chalk and pastel on buff paper
11¼ x 16½ in. (28.6 x 41.9 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work A woman arranging her hair by William McGregor Paxton was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 500.00 (€ 406.80). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William McGregor Paxton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Letter in April 2002 with an auction result of USD 834,500.00 (€ 927,016.22).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit A woman arranging her hair von William McGregor Paxton im Juni 2010 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 500,00 (€ 406,80) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William McGregor Paxton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Letter im April 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 834.500,00 (€ 927.016,22).
