Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2010 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver & Chinese Export, which included the work A Pair of Portraits of Theron Daniel Ludington (1826-1900) and Eleanor Bailey Ludington (1826-1863) by Ammi Phillips. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,012.26) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ammi Phillips achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of a Young Girl and her Cat in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 1,248,000.00 (€ 960,147.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2010 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver & Chinese Export durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Pair of Portraits of Theron Daniel Ludington (1826-1900) and Eleanor Bailey Ludington (1826-1863) von Ammi Phillips zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.012,26) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ammi Phillips erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of a Young Girl and her Cat im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.248.000,00 (€ 960.147,72).
