Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Maritime including Scientific & Medical Instruments, which included the work Running Under Heavy Seas by Anton Otto Fischer. The price achieved of USD 6,600.00 (€ 4,972.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Anton Otto Fischer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Great Armada, which sold at auction in October 2000 for USD 10,575.00 (€ 12,461.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Maritime including Scientific & Medical Instruments durch, in der auch die Arbeit Running Under Heavy Seas von Anton Otto Fischer zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.600,00 (€ 4.972,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Anton Otto Fischer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Great Armada beobachtet, die im Oktober 2000 für USD 10.575,00 (€ 12.461,70) versteigert wurde.
