Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Masters Online, which included the work Polishing Copper by Joseph Bail. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,500.00 (€ 3,139.30) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Bail achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sisters of Charity Saying Grace Before a Meal at the Hospice in Beaune, France, (Le Benedicté) in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 46,600.00 (€ 32,209.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Masters Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Polishing Copper von Joseph Bail zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.500,00 (€ 3.139,30) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Bail erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sisters of Charity Saying Grace Before a Meal at the Hospice in Beaune, France, (Le Benedicté) im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 46.600,00 (€ 32.209,01).
