Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2012 Sothebys in Toronto held the auction Important Canadian Art, which included the work The Somme River At Picquigny by Alexander Young Jackson. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of CAD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of CAD 88,750.00 (€ 68,687.45) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexander Young Jackson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work St. Tite-Des-Caps, which sold at auction in June 2010 for CAD 324,500.00 (€ 248,912.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2012 führte Sothebys in Toronto die Auktion Important Canadian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Somme River At Picquigny von Alexander Young Jackson zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von CAD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von CAD 88.750,00 (€ 68.687,45) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Alexander Young Jackson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit St. Tite-Des-Caps beobachtet, die im Juni 2010 für CAD 324.500,00 (€ 248.912,70) versteigert wurde.
