Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Man and Woman in a Garden by Howard Chandler Christy was sold in the American Art auction at Bonhams in Paris in May this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,120.00 (€ 4,805.71) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Howard Chandler Christy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nudes At The Beach in February 2017 with an auction result of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 87,777.83).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Man and Woman in a Garden von Howard Chandler Christy wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion American Art bei Bonhams in Paris versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.120,00 (€ 4.805,71) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Howard Chandler Christy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nudes At The Beach im Februar 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 87.777,83).
