Upper estimate price exceeded by 45 %.
In May last year Bonhams in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Ruffed Grouse 28 x 22 in. (71.1 x 55.9 cm.) by George Cope. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,670.00 (€ 8,079.40), 45% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Cope achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Ace Hunter's Door in December 2002 with an auction result of USD 158,000.00 (€ 150,691.46).

Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ruffed Grouse 28 x 22 in. (71.1 x 55.9 cm.) von George Cope zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 8.670,00 (€ 8.079,40) und damit 45% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Cope erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Ace Hunter's Door im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 158.000,00 (€ 150.691,46).
