A top price for Charles Henry Gifford - as previously expected
The work Lake George by Charles Henry Gifford was sold in the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in September 2004. The price achieved of USD 20,315.00 (€ 16,360.63) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Lake George is the most expensive artwork by Charles Henry Gifford that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Lake George von Charles Henry Gifford wurde im September 2004 in der Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 20.315,00 (€ 16.360,63) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Lake George das teuerste Kunstwerk von Charles Henry Gifford, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
