Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2016 a collector was able to acquire the work Allegories For 'Architecture' And 'Painting And Sculpture': Two Bronzes by Daniel Chester French for USD 27,500.00 (€ 25,086.66). This price was achieved in the auction American Art, Including the Collection of George S. Parker II from the Caxambas Foundation at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Daniel Chester French have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Concord Minute Man Of 1775 in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 212,500.00 (€ 190,600.05).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2016 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Allegories For 'Architecture' And 'Painting And Sculpture': Two Bronzes von Daniel Chester French für USD 27.500,00 (€ 25.086,66) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Art, Including the Collection of George S. Parker II from the Caxambas Foundation bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Daniel Chester French auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Concord Minute Man Of 1775 im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 212.500,00 (€ 190.600,05).
