Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Winter Watering by John Edward Costigan was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 18,000.00 – 25,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 17,500.00 (€ 13,289.79). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Edward Costigan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sheep at the Brook, which sold at auction in September 2011 for USD 43,750.00 (€ 32,530.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Winter Watering von John Edward Costigan im April 2013 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 18.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 17.500,00 (€ 13.289,79) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von John Edward Costigan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sheep at the Brook beobachtet, die im September 2011 für USD 43.750,00 (€ 32.530,30) versteigert wurde.
