Despite a disappointment, a good price for Edward Troye
When the work American Colonel Virgil Gardner And His Huntsman by Edward Troye was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 181,000.00 (€ 123,229.85). Despite this disappointing result, American Colonel Virgil Gardner And His Huntsman is the most expensive artwork by Edward Troye that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Edward Troye
Als die Arbeit American Colonel Virgil Gardner And His Huntsman von Edward Troye im November 2007 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 181.000,00 (€ 123.229,85) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist American Colonel Virgil Gardner And His Huntsman das teuerste Kunstwerk von Edward Troye, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
