Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Nugent Fitch could be acquired at Christies in New York in April 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The House Sale auction, the work The Orchid Album: Six Plates changed hands for USD 1,200.00 (€ 878.48) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Nugent Fitch have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Orchid Album: Eight Plates in February 2002 with an auction result of USD 5,640.00 (€ 6,514.21).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Nugent Fitch konnte im April 2007 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The House Sale wechselte die Arbeit The Orchid Album: Six Plates für USD 1.200,00 (€ 878,48) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Nugent Fitch auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Orchid Album: Eight Plates im Februar 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.640,00 (€ 6.514,21).
