Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Vanishing Race by Edward Sheriff Curtis was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in December this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,536.00 (€ 1,388.54). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Sheriff Curtis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The North American Indian, Portfolios 1-20; and Volumes 1-20 in October 2005 with an auction result of USD 1,416,000.00 (€ 1,180,491.87).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Vanishing Race von Edward Sheriff Curtis im Dezember diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.536,00 (€ 1.388,54) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Sheriff Curtis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The North American Indian, Portfolios 1-20; and Volumes 1-20 im Oktober 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.416.000,00 (€ 1.180.491,87).
