Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Scout 12 x 12 in. framed 18 x 18 in. by Bert Geer Phillips was sold in the The Collection of G. Andrew Bjurman auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in November last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 21,675.00 (€ 20,996.80) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bert Geer Phillips achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Magic Deer Song in May last year with an auction result of USD 378,000.00 (€ 352,250.49).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Scout 12 x 12 in. framed 18 x 18 in. von Bert Geer Phillips wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion The Collection of G. Andrew Bjurman bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 21.675,00 (€ 20.996,80) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bert Geer Phillips erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Magic Deer Song im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 378.000,00 (€ 352.250,49).
