Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Voice Of The Harp by Eastman Johnson was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in June 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 87,500.00 (€ 77,909.36) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Eastman Johnson 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 Little Soldier in May 2005 with an auction result of USD 856,000.00 (€ 693,173.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Voice Of The Harp von Eastman Johnson wurde im Juni 2020 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 77.909,36) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Eastman Johnson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Little Soldier im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 856.000,00 (€ 693.173,54).
