Hiram Powers (1805-1873)
Ginevra
inscribed 'H. Powers/Sculpt.' (on back of the socle)
marble
26½ in. (67.3 cm.) high

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Hiram Powers achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in December 2005. In the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work Ginevra sold for USD 114,000.00 (€ 96,267.52) - well above the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hiram Powers; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Bust Of George Washington sold at auction in December 2008 with the realized price of USD 182,500.00 (€ 131,115.74).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
