Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Frederick Kensett could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in September 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Art auction, the work Mount Chocorua changed hands for USD 118,750.00 (€ 108,895.00) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Frederick Kensett have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Entrance to Newport Harbor in December 2005 with an auction result of USD 1,248,000.00 (€ 1,053,876.03).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Frederick Kensett konnte im September 2019 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Art wechselte die Arbeit Mount Chocorua für USD 118.750,00 (€ 108.895,00) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Frederick Kensett auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Entrance to Newport Harbor im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.248.000,00 (€ 1.053.876,03).
