Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Shad Fishermen by John Fulton Folinsbee was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,596.81). Admittedly, works by John Fulton Folinsbee have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Trenton Platform in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 81,250.00 (€ 65,324.01).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Shad Fishermen von John Fulton Folinsbee im Juni 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.596,81) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Fulton Folinsbee auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Trenton Platform im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 81.250,00 (€ 65.324,01).
