A top price for Fidelia Bridges
When the work Songbirds in a Woodland Marsh by Fidelia Bridges was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 37,500.00 (€ 34,912.95). This high result makes Songbirds in a Woodland Marsh the most expensive artwork by Fidelia Bridges that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Fidelia Bridges
Als die Arbeit Songbirds in a Woodland Marsh von Fidelia Bridges im März 2015 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 37.500,00 (€ 34.912,95) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Songbirds in a Woodland Marsh zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Fidelia Bridges, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
