Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Steamboat Ocean; Lighthouse at Sandyhook; Mississippi River Fisherman near Prairie du Chen; Explosion on the Mayflower, Lake Huron: Four Works by Franz Holzlhuber was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,107.02). Admittedly, works by Franz Holzlhuber have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Two Indians at a Listening Post by a Shore; Chippewa Indians on Mackinac Island; Fort Snelling, Minnesota; and Ball Game of Menominee Indians: Four Works in September 2008 with an auction result of USD 23,750.00 (€ 16,866.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Steamboat Ocean; Lighthouse at Sandyhook; Mississippi River Fisherman near Prairie du Chen; Explosion on the Mayflower, Lake Huron: Four Works von Franz Holzlhuber im September 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.107,02) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Franz Holzlhuber auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Two Indians at a Listening Post by a Shore; Chippewa Indians on Mackinac Island; Fort Snelling, Minnesota; and Ball Game of Menominee Indians: Four Works im September 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.750,00 (€ 16.866,70).
