Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Sunlight Through Trees by John Fabian Carlson was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,216.68). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Fabian Carlson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Forest Silence in September 2009 with an auction result of USD 80,500.00 (€ 55,023.92).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Sunlight Through Trees von John Fabian Carlson im September 2010 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 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.216,68) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Fabian Carlson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Forest Silence im September 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 80.500,00 (€ 55.023,92).
