Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Pensioner Of The Revolution by John Neagle was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,375.00 (€ 2,166.58). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Neagle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Red Jacket in September 2012 with an auction result of USD 40,000.00 (€ 31,113.88).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Pensioner Of The Revolution von John Neagle im Oktober 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.375,00 (€ 2.166,58) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Neagle erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Red Jacket im September 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 40.000,00 (€ 31.113,88).
