Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work British the Marble Seat by Albert Joseph Moore was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 53,125.00 (€ 36,953.95). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Albert Joseph Moore achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jasmine in June 2008 with an auction result of GBP 1,777,250.00 (€ 2,246,503.59).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit British the Marble Seat von Albert Joseph Moore im Mai 2011 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 53.125,00 (€ 36.953,95) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Albert Joseph Moore erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jasmine im Juni 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.777.250,00 (€ 2.246.503,59).
