Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Landscape with Child and Dog by Fairfield Porter was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 927,500.00 (€ 821,741.83). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fairfield Porter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Schooner II, which sold at auction in May 2018 for USD 1,932,500.00 (€ 1,655,955.44).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Landscape with Child and Dog von Fairfield Porter im November 2021 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 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 927.500,00 (€ 821.741,83) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Fairfield Porter mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Schooner II beobachtet, die im Mai 2018 für USD 1.932.500,00 (€ 1.655.955,44) versteigert wurde.
