Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
The work Study for "Bellissima" by William McGregor Paxton was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in December 2005. It achieved a price of USD 78,000.00 (€ 65,867.25), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 30%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 30 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Study for "Bellissima" von William McGregor Paxton wurde im Dezember 2005 in der Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 78.000,00 (€ 65.867,25) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 30%. 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).
