Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2006 a collector was able to acquire the work Building the Bridge, at Cologne (Wuerth 389) by Joseph Pennell for USD 180.00 (€ 141.88). This price was achieved in the auction Prints and Multiples at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 300.00 – 500.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Pennell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work New York from Brooklyn; and The City in 1915 (Wuerth 671; and 679) in February 2002 with an auction result of USD 2,232.50 (€ 2,578.54).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im September 2006 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Building the Bridge, at Cologne (Wuerth 389) von Joseph Pennell für USD 180,00 (€ 141,88) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Pennell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit New York from Brooklyn; and The City in 1915 (Wuerth 671; and 679) im Februar 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.232,50 (€ 2.578,54).
