Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait of Ebenezer Punderson (1762-1847), circa 1821 by Ammi Phillips was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 25,850.00 (€ 30,461.94). 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).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait of Ebenezer Punderson (1762-1847), circa 1821 von Ammi Phillips im Oktober 2000 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 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 25.850,00 (€ 30.461,94) mehr als viermal so hoch. 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).
