Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work With Carbines Drawn by Frank McCarthy was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 40,000.00 (€ 25,706.94). Other works by Frank McCarthy have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May 2015 by the work Along The Rim; The Column Came at USD 52,500.00 (€ 47,753.32).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit With Carbines Drawn von Frank McCarthy im Mai 2008 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 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 40.000,00 (€ 25.706,94) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Frank McCarthy wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Mai 2015 die Arbeit Along The Rim; The Column Came mit USD 52.500,00 (€ 47.753,32).
