Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Suddenly Blackbeard Whipped Two Pistols From His Sash by Frank Earle Schoonover was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 43,000.00 (€ 27,206.58). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frank Earle Schoonover achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work As the Canoe Swept By in May last year with an auction result of USD 441,000.00 (€ 410,958.90).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Suddenly Blackbeard Whipped Two Pistols From His Sash von Frank Earle Schoonover im März 2008 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 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 43.000,00 (€ 27.206,58) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frank Earle Schoonover erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit As the Canoe Swept By im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 441.000,00 (€ 410.958,90).
