Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The Gatherer of Simples by George Fuller was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,386.00 (€ 1,291.59). Admittedly, works by George Fuller have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Study for "The Quadroon" in October 2000 with an auction result of USD 7,050.00 (€ 8,307.80).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The Gatherer of Simples von George Fuller im Mai letzten Jahres 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 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.386,00 (€ 1.291,59) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Fuller auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Study for "The Quadroon" im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.050,00 (€ 8.307,80).
