Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'The Pyramids Of Sakkarah, From The North East' by Francis Frith was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,678.19) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Frith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Egypt, Palestine & Nubia, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 31,070.00 (€ 46,616.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 'The Pyramids Of Sakkarah, From The North East' von Francis Frith kam im April 2015 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.678,19) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Francis Frith mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Egypt, Palestine & Nubia beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für GBP 31.070,00 (€ 46.616,44) versteigert wurde.
