In December 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work Boys Fishing by Louis Comfort Tiffany. The »bidding war« ended at USD 120,000.00 (€ 101,334.23), 50% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Louis Comfort Tiffany; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Florida sold at auction in March 2005 with the realized price of USD 156,000.00 (€ 120,286.84).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Boys Fishing von Louis Comfort Tiffany zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 120.000,00 (€ 101.334,23) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Louis Comfort Tiffany; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Florida im März 2005 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 156.000,00 (€ 120.286,84).
