Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work Shipping in a calm in Sandy Hook Bay by Archibald Cary Smith. It changed hands for a price of USD 32,500.00 (€ 23,349.38) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Archibald Cary Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A New York Yacht Club cutter racing off a coast, which sold at auction in July 2006 for USD 96,000.00 (€ 75,211.53).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Shipping in a calm in Sandy Hook Bay von Archibald Cary Smith zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 23.349,38) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Archibald Cary Smith mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A New York Yacht Club cutter racing off a coast beobachtet, die im Juli 2006 für USD 96.000,00 (€ 75.211,53) versteigert wurde.
