Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Huckleberry Finn by John Philip Falter was sold in the American Paintings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in October 2000. Here, the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 15,275.00 (€ 18,000.24). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Philip Falter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Young Sammy Sixgun in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 516,500.00 (€ 434,106.57).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Huckleberry Finn von John Philip Falter wurde im Oktober 2000 in der Auktion American Paintings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 15.275,00 (€ 18.000,24) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Philip Falter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Young Sammy Sixgun im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 516.500,00 (€ 434.106,57).
