Upper estimate price exceeded by 43 %.

In September 2012 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture, which included the work Roman Acqueduct In The Campagna by Jervis McEntee. The »bidding war« ended at USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,778.47), 43% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jervis McEntee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gathering Firewood in December 2002 with an auction result of USD 130,500.00 (€ 124,463.52).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen

Im September 2012 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Roman Acqueduct In The Campagna von Jervis McEntee zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 10.000,00 (€ 7.778,47) und damit 43% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jervis McEntee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gathering Firewood im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 130.500,00 (€ 124.463,52).
