A top price for Henry F. Farny - as previously expected
In December 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work In Pastures New by Henry F. Farny. It changed hands for a price of USD 1,426,500.00 (€ 1,024,858.11) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, In Pastures New is the most expensive artwork by Henry F. Farny that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit In Pastures New von Henry F. Farny zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 1.426.500,00 (€ 1.024.858,11) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist In Pastures New das teuerste Kunstwerk von Henry F. Farny, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
