Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver and Prints including The Garbisch Collection from the Sky Club, which included the work Portrait of Fisher Ames by James Sharples. The price achieved of USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,935.02) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Sharples achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington in January 2021 with an auction result of USD 325,000.00 (€ 267,820.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver and Prints including The Garbisch Collection from the Sky Club durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Fisher Ames von James Sharples zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.935,02) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Sharples erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington im Januar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 325.000,00 (€ 267.820,35).
