Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.
In January 2024 Christies in New York held the auction 19th Century American & Western Art, which included the work Capri by Albert Bierstadt. The »bidding war« ended at USD 40,320.00 (€ 35,238.59), 34% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Albert Bierstadt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Indians Spear Fishing in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 7,321,000.00 (€ 4,705,012.85).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
Im Januar 2024 führte Christies in New York die Auktion 19th Century American & Western Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Capri von Albert Bierstadt zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 40.320,00 (€ 35.238,59) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Albert Bierstadt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Indians Spear Fishing im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.321.000,00 (€ 4.705.012,85).
