Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Tug A.C. Cheney Towing Barges Past Bear Mountain by James Gale Tyler was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 62,500.00 (€ 44,902.65). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Gale Tyler - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work New York Yacht Club Racing Boats In New York Harbor, which sold at auction in November 2015 for USD 162,500.00 (€ 153,853.44).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Tug A.C. Cheney Towing Barges Past Bear Mountain von James Gale Tyler im Dezember 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 62.500,00 (€ 44.902,65) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von James Gale Tyler mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit New York Yacht Club Racing Boats In New York Harbor beobachtet, die im November 2015 für USD 162.500,00 (€ 153.853,44) versteigert wurde.
