In May last year Christies in New York held the auction Stewards of the West: The Knobloch Collection, which included the work The Ambush by Henry F. Farny. The »bidding war« ended at USD 352,800.00 (€ 328,767.12), 41% above the upper estimate. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 41 % übertroffen

Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Stewards of the West: The Knobloch Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Ambush von Henry F. Farny zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 352.800,00 (€ 328.767,12) und damit 41% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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.
