Auction result misses estimated price range
In June 2020 a collector was able to acquire the work The Forest Fire by Gerard Curtis Delano for USD 137,500.00 (€ 122,428.99). This price was achieved in the auction American Art at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gerard Curtis Delano - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work In Bonnet And Paint, Early-Day Sioux Scouts, which sold at auction in May 2018 for USD 471,000.00 (€ 403,598.97).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juni 2020 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Forest Fire von Gerard Curtis Delano für USD 137.500,00 (€ 122.428,99) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gerard Curtis Delano mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit In Bonnet And Paint, Early-Day Sioux Scouts beobachtet, die im Mai 2018 für USD 471.000,00 (€ 403.598,97) versteigert wurde.
