Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work A Charles Russell Holiday Card. by Charles Marion Russell was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in June 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 4,080.00 (€ 3,443.62). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Charles Russell Holiday Card. von Charles Marion Russell im Juni 2021 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 4.080,00 (€ 3.443,62) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. 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).
