Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of a Gentleman Reading a Book by William Sanford Mason for USD 4,112.50 (€ 4,418.24). This price was achieved in the auction American Paintings, Furniture, Folk Art and Decorative Art at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by William Sanford Mason have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work View Of Columbia in January 2020 with an auction result of USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,156.22).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Januar 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of a Gentleman Reading a Book von William Sanford Mason für USD 4.112,50 (€ 4.418,24) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Paintings, Furniture, Folk Art and Decorative Art bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Sanford Mason auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit View Of Columbia im Januar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 21.250,00 (€ 19.156,22).
