Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John La Farge could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in November 2016 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Art auction, the work Fishing Party In Canoes, Samoa changed hands for USD 30,000.00 (€ 28,360.75) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John La Farge achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Last Valley--Paradise Rocks in November 2000 with an auction result of USD 2,096,000.00 (€ 2,410,858.06).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John La Farge konnte im November 2016 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Art wechselte die Arbeit Fishing Party In Canoes, Samoa für USD 30.000,00 (€ 28.360,75) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John La Farge erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Last Valley--Paradise Rocks im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.096.000,00 (€ 2.410.858,06).
