Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2002 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work In a Rug Bazaar, Cairo by George Henry Hall. The price achieved of USD 50,190.00 (€ 47,868.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Henry Hall - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bric-a-Brac, which sold at auction in January this year for USD 151,200.00 (€ 139,252.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2002 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit In a Rug Bazaar, Cairo von George Henry Hall zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 50.190,00 (€ 47.868,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von George Henry Hall mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bric-a-Brac beobachtet, die im Januar diesen Jahres für USD 151.200,00 (€ 139.252,16) versteigert wurde.
