This artwork by Joshua Johnson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2014. In the Important American Furniture, Folk Art & Decorative Arts auction, the work A Baltimore Shipowner And His Wife; A Pair Of Portraits sold for USD 35,000.00 (€ 25,925.93) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joshua Johnson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Pair of Portraits: Boy with Squirrel and Girl with Dog in January 2020 with an auction result of USD 495,000.00 (€ 446,227.35).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joshua Johnson erzielte im Januar 2014 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important American Furniture, Folk Art & Decorative Arts wurde die Arbeit A Baltimore Shipowner And His Wife; A Pair Of Portraits für USD 35.000,00 (€ 25.925,93) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joshua Johnson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Pair of Portraits: Boy with Squirrel and Girl with Dog im Januar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 495.000,00 (€ 446.227,35).
