Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Wife of Man Holding Large Bible by Ammi Phillips was sold in the Important American Furniture, Folk Art & Decorative Arts auction at Christies in New York in September 2011. The price achieved of USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,435.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. 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
Die Arbeit Wife of Man Holding Large Bible von Ammi Phillips wurde im September 2011 in der Auktion Important American Furniture, Folk Art & Decorative Arts bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 10.000,00 (€ 7.435,50) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
