Auction result misses estimated price range
In May last year a collector was able to acquire the work Old Memories by John George Brown for USD 13,860.00 (€ 12,915.85). This price was achieved in the auction The American Scene including Important Photographs from the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John George Brown achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Thrilling Moment in January this year with an auction result of USD 819,000.00 (€ 754,282.56).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Old Memories von John George Brown für USD 13.860,00 (€ 12.915,85) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The American Scene including Important Photographs from the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John George Brown erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Thrilling Moment im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 819.000,00 (€ 754.282,56).
