Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work View Of Blackwell'S Island, New York (Youle'S Shot Tower, East River, New York; View Of Hartford) by Frederic Church was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 90,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 322,000.00 (€ 292,887.03). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederic Church achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Valley Of Santa Isabel, New Granada in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 5,026,250.00 (€ 4,306,983.72).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit View Of Blackwell'S Island, New York (Youle'S Shot Tower, East River, New York; View Of Hartford) von Frederic Church im Mai 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 90.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 322.000,00 (€ 292.887,03) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederic Church erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Valley Of Santa Isabel, New Granada im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.026.250,00 (€ 4.306.983,72).
