Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Francis Luis Mora could be acquired at Christies in New York in June 2000 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Paintings auction, the work When Play and Fancy Rule the Board 'Tis Joy to Dine changed hands for USD 16,450.00 (€ 17,234.15) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Luis Mora - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life, which sold at auction in May 2007 for USD 57,600.00 (€ 42,815.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Francis Luis Mora konnte im Juni 2000 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Paintings wechselte die Arbeit When Play and Fancy Rule the Board 'Tis Joy to Dine für USD 16.450,00 (€ 17.234,15) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Francis Luis Mora mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still Life beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für USD 57.600,00 (€ 42.815,73) versteigert wurde.
