Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When this work without title by Albert Gallatin was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 40,000.00 (€ 34,275.92). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Albert Gallatin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot New York World'S Fair sold at auction in September 2017 with the realized price of USD 60,000.00 (€ 50,791.50).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Albert Gallatin im Mai 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 40.000,00 (€ 34.275,92) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Albert Gallatin; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit New York World'S Fair im September 2017 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 60.000,00 (€ 50.791,50).
