Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work View Of Camden Mountains From Penobscot Bay by Fitz Henry Lane was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 482,500.00 (€ 336,659.22). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fitz Henry Lane achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Golden Rule in May 2000 with an auction result of USD 3,966,000.00 (€ 4,251,715.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit View Of Camden Mountains From Penobscot Bay von Fitz Henry Lane im Dezember 2009 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 600.000,00 – 800.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 482.500,00 (€ 336.659,22) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fitz Henry Lane erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Golden Rule im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.966.000,00 (€ 4.251.715,27).
