Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by John Frederick Peto achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January this year. In the From Peale to Peto: American Masters from the Pollack Collection auction, the work Books and Inkwell sold for USD 37,800.00 (€ 34,813.04) - well above the upper estimate of USD 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Frederick Peto achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Old Time Letter Rack in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 850,000.00 (€ 773,148.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Frederick Peto erzielte im Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion From Peale to Peto: American Masters from the Pollack Collection wurde die Arbeit Books and Inkwell für USD 37.800,00 (€ 34.813,04) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 18.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Frederick Peto erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Old Time Letter Rack im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 850.000,00 (€ 773.148,99).
