A top price for Elizabeth R. Coffin

When the work The Old Falconer of Ben Gana, Sheik of the Ziban by Elizabeth R. Coffin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 100,800.00 (€ 89,903.67). This high result makes The Old Falconer of Ben Gana, Sheik of the Ziban the most expensive artwork by Elizabeth R. Coffin that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Elizabeth R. Coffin

Als die Arbeit The Old Falconer of Ben Gana, Sheik of the Ziban von Elizabeth R. Coffin im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 100.800,00 (€ 89.903,67) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Old Falconer of Ben Gana, Sheik of the Ziban zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Elizabeth R. Coffin, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
