Auction result well in line with expectations

In September 2011 Christies in New York held the auction Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work 'Hide and Seek': A Pair of Bookends by Abastenia St. Leger Eberle. The price achieved of USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,717.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abastenia St. Leger Eberle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Sea Treasures' in November 2006 with an auction result of USD 144,000.00 (€ 108,589.10).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im September 2011 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Hide and Seek': A Pair of Bookends von Abastenia St. Leger Eberle zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.000,00 (€ 3.717,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Abastenia St. Leger Eberle erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Sea Treasures' im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 144.000,00 (€ 108.589,10).
