Auction result well in line with expectations

In May last year Christies in New York held the auction Stewards of the West: The Knobloch Collection, which included the work First Sketch for 'In the Shadow' by Henry F. Farny. It changed hands for a price of USD 289,800.00 (€ 270,058.71) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry F. Farny - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work In Pastures New, which sold at auction in December 2008 for USD 1,426,500.00 (€ 1,024,858.11).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Stewards of the West: The Knobloch Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit First Sketch for 'In the Shadow' von Henry F. Farny zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 289.800,00 (€ 270.058,71) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Henry F. Farny mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit In Pastures New beobachtet, die im Dezember 2008 für USD 1.426.500,00 (€ 1.024.858,11) versteigert wurde.
