Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Now Then, 1896; Vamoose, 1891; Norwood, 1891; Waden, 1897; and Corinthia by John S. Johnston for USD 687.50 (€ 463.24). This price was achieved in the auction Maritime Art Including Fine Paintings, Nautical Antiques, Scrimshaw And Ship Models at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by John S. Johnston have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Five photographs of 1895 America's Cup winner Defender in January 2009 with an auction result of USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,416.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Januar 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Now Then, 1896; Vamoose, 1891; Norwood, 1891; Waden, 1897; and Corinthia von John S. Johnston für USD 687,50 (€ 463,24) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Maritime Art Including Fine Paintings, Nautical Antiques, Scrimshaw And Ship Models bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John S. Johnston auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Five photographs of 1895 America's Cup winner Defender im Januar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.416,90).
