A top price for Jean-Baptiste Adanson

When the work A Houbara Bustard Standing In A Landscape, Fanning Its Tail Feathers by Jean-Baptiste Adanson was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 9,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 40,000.00 (€ 37,057.62). This high result makes A Houbara Bustard Standing In A Landscape, Fanning Its Tail Feathers the most expensive artwork by Jean-Baptiste Adanson that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Jean-Baptiste Adanson

Als die Arbeit A Houbara Bustard Standing In A Landscape, Fanning Its Tail Feathers von Jean-Baptiste Adanson im Januar 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 9.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 40.000,00 (€ 37.057,62) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A Houbara Bustard Standing In A Landscape, Fanning Its Tail Feathers zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jean-Baptiste Adanson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
