Auction result well in line with expectations
This work without title by Ernest Briggs was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 32,500.00 (€ 28,919.74) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ernest Briggs - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work #1, which sold at auction in May 2012 for USD 74,500.00 (€ 60,255.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Ernest Briggs kam im September 2016 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 28.919,74) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Ernest Briggs mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit #1 beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für USD 74.500,00 (€ 60.255,58) versteigert wurde.
