Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Black Hawk, Prominent Sauk Chief, Sauk And Fox by George Catlin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 962,500.00 (€ 741,925.54). Other works by George Catlin have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in December 2011 by the work Interior Of A Mandan Lodge at USD 1,538,500.00 (€ 1,185,924.61).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Black Hawk, Prominent Sauk Chief, Sauk And Fox von George Catlin im Dezember 2011 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 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 962.500,00 (€ 741.925,54) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von George Catlin wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Dezember 2011 die Arbeit Interior Of A Mandan Lodge mit USD 1.538.500,00 (€ 1.185.924,61).
