Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2015 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Proserpine by Hiram Powers. The price achieved of USD 18,750.00 (€ 17,456.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Admittedly, works by Hiram Powers have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Bust Of George Washington in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 182,500.00 (€ 131,115.74).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2015 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Proserpine von Hiram Powers zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 18.750,00 (€ 17.456,48) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hiram Powers auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Bust Of George Washington im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 182.500,00 (€ 131.115,74).
