Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Gutzon Borglum achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in June 2016. In the American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work John Ruskin sold for USD 4,250.00 (€ 3,852.43) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gutzon Borglum achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mares of Diomedes' in March 2006 with an auction result of USD 144,000.00 (€ 118,625.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gutzon Borglum erzielte im Juni 2016 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture wurde die Arbeit John Ruskin für USD 4.250,00 (€ 3.852,43) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gutzon Borglum erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mares of Diomedes' im März 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 144.000,00 (€ 118.625,92).
