Auction result well in line with expectations
In January this year Bonhams held the auction American Art | Bonhams Skinner, which included the work Study of Sumacs and Immortals, Autumn by Worthington Whittredge. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,750.00 (€ 11,742.49) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Worthington Whittredge achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Pine Cone Gatherers in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 360,500.00 (€ 340,801.66).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion American Art | Bonhams Skinner durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study of Sumacs and Immortals, Autumn von Worthington Whittredge zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 12.750,00 (€ 11.742,49) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Worthington Whittredge erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Pine Cone Gatherers im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 360.500,00 (€ 340.801,66).
