Charles Bird King

John Ridge, Cherokee Chief

Found at Christies, New York
Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, Lot 5
12. Sep - 12. Sep 2007
Estimate: 30.000 - 50.000 USD
Price realised: 457.000 USD
Charles Bird King (1785-1862)
John Ridge, Cherokee Chief
dated '1825' and inscribed indistinctly (on the reverse)
oil on panel
17½ x 13¼ in. (44.5 x 33.7 cm.)

Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price

When the work John Ridge, Cherokee Chief by Charles Bird King was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at USD 457,000.00 (€ 321,400.94). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Charles Bird King; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait Of Big Buffalo, A Chippewa sold at auction in May last year with the realized price of USD 478,800.00 (€ 446,183.95).

Kunstwerk zum Neunfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit John Ridge, Cherokee Chief von Charles Bird King im September 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 457.000,00 (€ 321.400,94) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Charles Bird King; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Portrait Of Big Buffalo, A Chippewa im Mai letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 478.800,00 (€ 446.183,95).
