Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Window And Stairway Of The Old Ursuline Convent, New Orleans by Arnold Genthe was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,063.00 (€ 2,988.82). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arnold Genthe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Mixed Crowd, Old Chinatown, San Fransisco, 1895-1906, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 11,377.10).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Window And Stairway Of The Old Ursuline Convent, New Orleans von Arnold Genthe im Oktober 2013 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.063,00 (€ 2.988,82) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Arnold Genthe mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Mixed Crowd, Old Chinatown, San Fransisco, 1895-1906 beobachtet, die im November 2007 für GBP 8.125,00 (€ 11.377,10) versteigert wurde.
