Sold at the lower estimate price
In October 2016 Christies in New York held the auction Living with Art, which included the work Mountain Caribou by Carl Rungius. The result of USD 2,500.00 (€ 2,280.61) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Carl Rungius achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Alaskan Brown Bear-Out of the Shadows in December 2002 with an auction result of USD 581,500.00 (€ 554,601.81).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Oktober 2016 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Living with Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mountain Caribou von Carl Rungius zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 2.500,00 (€ 2.280,61) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Carl Rungius erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Alaskan Brown Bear-Out of the Shadows im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 581.500,00 (€ 554.601,81).
