Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Edouard Adam could be acquired at Christies in New York in July 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Maritime auction, the work The Cerastes off a point of land changed hands for USD 5,377.50 (€ 4,469.33) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Other works by Edouard Adam have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in January 2008 by the work The Charles M. Watts at sea at USD 10,000.00 (€ 6,738.09).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Edouard Adam konnte im Juli 2004 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Maritime wechselte die Arbeit The Cerastes off a point of land für USD 5.377,50 (€ 4.469,33) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Andere Arbeiten von Edouard Adam wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Januar 2008 die Arbeit The Charles M.
