This artwork by Daniel Chester French achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2012. In the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture Including the Collection of Dr. Mark and Irene Kauffman auction, the work Abraham Lincoln sold for USD 15,000.00 (€ 11,249.44) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Daniel Chester French achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Concord Minute Man Of 1775 in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 212,500.00 (€ 190,600.05).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Daniel Chester French erzielte im März 2012 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture Including the Collection of Dr. Mark and Irene Kauffman wurde die Arbeit Abraham Lincoln für USD 15.000,00 (€ 11.249,44) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Daniel Chester French erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Concord Minute Man Of 1775 im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 212.500,00 (€ 190.600,05).
