Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Indians Hunting The Grizzly Bear by George Catlin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2008. It changed hands for a price of USD 541,000.00 (€ 347,686.38) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 350,000.00 – 550,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Catlin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Interior Of A Mandan Lodge, which sold at auction in December 2011 for USD 1,538,500.00 (€ 1,185,924.61).
