Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ostrich Chase, Buenos Aires by George Catlin was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in May 2004. The price achieved of USD 47,800.00 (€ 39,125.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ostrich Chase, Buenos Aires von George Catlin wurde im Mai 2004 in der Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 47.800,00 (€ 39.125,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
