A top price for Robert Scott Duncanson - as previously expected

The work The Garden of Eden by Robert Scott Duncanson was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in May 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 343,500.00 (€ 291,942.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Garden of Eden is the most expensive artwork by Robert Scott Duncanson that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit The Garden of Eden von Robert Scott Duncanson wurde im Mai 2003 in der Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 343.500,00 (€ 291.942,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Garden of Eden das teuerste Kunstwerk von Robert Scott Duncanson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
