Despite a disappointment, a good price for Conrad Freitag
When the work The pilot boat Washington #22 with steamships and a clipper ship in the distance by Conrad Freitag was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 25,000.00 (€ 16,845.23). Despite this disappointing result, The pilot boat Washington #22 with steamships and a clipper ship in the distance is the most expensive artwork by Conrad Freitag that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Conrad Freitag
Als die Arbeit The pilot boat Washington #22 with steamships and a clipper ship in the distance von Conrad Freitag im Januar 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 25.000,00 (€ 16.845,23) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The pilot boat Washington #22 with steamships and a clipper ship in the distance das teuerste Kunstwerk von Conrad Freitag, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
