A top price for Mathew Brady

When the work John C. Calhoun by Mathew Brady was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 338,500.00 (€ 228,392.15). This high result makes John C. Calhoun the most expensive artwork by Mathew Brady that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Mathew Brady

Als die Arbeit John C. Calhoun von Mathew Brady im April 2011 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 338.500,00 (€ 228.392,15) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht John C. Calhoun zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Mathew Brady, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
