Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Travel & Exploration, which included the work 'Mellem Isblokkene foran den store Ishule; Solring I Rimtaagen, Sept. 1907' (Between the Ice Blocks in front of the Great Ice Cave) by Achton Friis. The price achieved of GBP 1,785.00 (€ 2,058.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Achton Friis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work “Isbjerge i Midnatsssol ved Teufelkap i Grønland” (ice bergs in midnight sun at cape Teufel in Greenland), which sold at auction in October this year for DKK 46,000.00 (€ 6,163.51).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Travel & Exploration durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Mellem Isblokkene foran den store Ishule; Solring I Rimtaagen, Sept. 1907' (Between the Ice Blocks in front of the Great Ice Cave) von Achton Friis zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.785,00 (€ 2.058,66) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Achton Friis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit “Isbjerge i Midnatsssol ved Teufelkap i Grønland” (ice bergs in midnight sun at cape Teufel in Greenland) beobachtet, die im Oktober diesen Jahres für DKK 46.000,00 (€ 6.163,51) versteigert wurde.
