Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Lion And Buffalo by Carl Ethan Akeley was worth USD 59,375.00 (€ 42,657.52) to a buyer in December 2008. This price was achieved in the auction The Sporting Sale: Equestrian, Wildlife & Maritime Art at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Carl Ethan Akeley; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot American The Wounded Comrade sold at auction in November 2007 with the realized price of USD 115,000.00 (€ 78,295.21).
