Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Perils of Whaling by Ralph Cahoon was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2007. The price achieved of USD 27,400.00 (€ 18,938.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ralph Cahoon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Luck of the Sailfish Club, which sold at auction in January 2007 for USD 96,000.00 (€ 73,857.52).
