Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Tropical Forest Scene by Martin Johnson Heade was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 60,000.00 (€ 50,428.64). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Martin Johnson Heade achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Great Florida Sunset in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 5,850,000.00 (€ 5,538,723.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Tropical Forest Scene von Martin Johnson Heade im November 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 60.000,00 (€ 50.428,64) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Martin Johnson Heade erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Great Florida Sunset im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.850.000,00 (€ 5.538.723,73).
