Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Castle Builder by Charles Bird King was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,400.00 (€ 4,256.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Bird King achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Big Buffalo, A Chippewa in May last year with an auction result of USD 478,800.00 (€ 446,183.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Castle Builder von Charles Bird King kam im September 2006 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.400,00 (€ 4.256,33) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Bird King erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Big Buffalo, A Chippewa im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 478.800,00 (€ 446.183,95).
