Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Apollo In His Chariot And Thetis And Her Maids: Two Drawings by John Flaxman was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,292.00 (€ 4,543.66) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by John Flaxman have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Angels Rescuing A Soul From The Ranks of The Dead in June 2006 with an auction result of GBP 14,400.00 (€ 20,836.56).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Apollo In His Chariot And Thetis And Her Maids: Two Drawings von John Flaxman wurde im Oktober 2020 in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.292,00 (€ 4.543,66) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Flaxman auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Angels Rescuing A Soul From The Ranks of The Dead im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.400,00 (€ 20.836,56).
