Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Charles Marion Russell could be acquired at Christies in New York in October 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Legend of the West: Iconic Works from the T. Boone Pickens Collection auction, the work Indians on Horseback changed hands for USD 43,750.00 (€ 37,563.32) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Marion Russell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Meat for the Tribe in December 2005 with an auction result of USD 1,472,000.00 (€ 1,243,033.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles Marion Russell konnte im Oktober 2020 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Legend of the West: Iconic Works from the T. Boone Pickens Collection wechselte die Arbeit Indians on Horseback für USD 43.750,00 (€ 37.563,32) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Marion Russell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Meat for the Tribe im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.472.000,00 (€ 1.243.033,27).
