Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Soldiers crossing a river on horseback by Georg Philipp Rugendas was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 896.25 (€ 909.34). Admittedly, works by Georg Philipp Rugendas have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A cavalry engagement in April 2001 with an auction result of GBP 2,937.50 (€ 4,735.62).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Soldiers crossing a river on horseback von Georg Philipp Rugendas im Juni 2002 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 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 896,25 (€ 909,34) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Georg Philipp Rugendas auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A cavalry engagement im April 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.937,50 (€ 4.735,62).
