The work Le Chat d'Ostende by George Catlin was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in May 2000. It achieved a price of USD 47,000.00 (€ 50,385.93), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 57%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Catlin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Interior Of A Mandan Lodge in December 2011 with an auction result of USD 1,538,500.00 (€ 1,185,924.61).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 57 % übertroffen

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Catlin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Interior Of A Mandan Lodge im Dezember 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.538.500,00 (€ 1.185.924,61).
